High Country Vacations

Experience the spirit of the Rockies with High Country Vacations on a traditional packhorse adventure through Alberta’s breathtaking Willmore Wilderness Park. Tucked north of Banff and Jasper, this untouched alpine landscape invites guests to ride historic trails once travelled by Indigenous peoples, trappers, and mountain explorers. Journey through wildflower meadows, along clear mountain streams, and beneath towering peaks on dependable horses, guided by experienced backcountry hosts. After a day on the trail, unwind in comfortable wilderness camps, enjoy hearty meals, and gather around the campfire beneath a star-filled sky. Watch for wildlife, cast a line in quiet waters, and soak in the peace of a truly remote setting. More than a getaway, this is an immersive Rocky Mountain experience rooted in adventure, history, and connection to the land.
