September is a great month to hike in the Canadian Rockies. Join us for this year's hikes at Kootenay Plains.

02/04/2024

Registrations are open for 2024

“Thank you!” once again patiently waiting for updates on our summer hiking plans. We can finally confirm we are hiking amid the fall colours of the Kootenay Plains area of the Canadian Rockies, in Big Horn Country, Alberta in late summer 2024.

Our volunteers will be setting up our traditional prospector tents in a group campground at David Thompson Resort. This resort is close to the famous Abraham Lake; you may have seen photos of the bubbles trapped under the ice in the winter. The resort offers shelters for our evening activities, campsite bathrooms & showers, and we will have special sittings for our catered breakfasts and dinners. As per our usual process, the resort will also be providing us with our packed lunch daily.

We are anticipating some fantastic hikes that will appeal to all levels of hiker. Hiking will be facilitated with the use of a daily coach to trailheads, with travel times short and on paved roads. The same coach will offer transportation to and from Calgary International Airport, with pickups en-route.

Camps will be offered arriving and departing:
1. Monday, August 26th to Saturday, August 31st
2. Monday, September 2nd to Saturday, September 7th
3. Monday, September 9th to Saturday, September 14th
4. Monday, September 16th to Saturday, September 21st

Please reach out to your fellow hiking buddies and plan to join Skyline Hikers of the Canadian Rockies. We look forward to our usual wonderful experiences in the mountains, good food, and an opportunity to renew and create friendships with fellow Skyliners!

Dear Members of Skyline Hikers of the Canadian Rockies,

We thank you for your continued support of this heritage organization and your patience as we work toward our summer hiking experience. We are excited to report that for the 2024 season, Skyline will be hiking in and around the Kootenay Plains Ecological Reserve located in Big Horn country, Alberta.

The Kootenay Plains stretch between two mountain ranges along the banks of the upper North Saskatchewan River and the area borders Banff National Park. There are numerous hikes available in the area; offering all levels of challenge for our hikers. We also want you to know that we are returning to our roots and will be camping this year! We have secured a front-country campsite and catering services but some additional expenses need to be confirmed.

Registration will be opened in the coming days.

Look for the announcement in your email, on Facebook or on our newly designed website.
