Alpine Meadows Of Wildflowers

Hiking up through the woods, the light is dappled and the air is cool. You get into a rhythm. Your heart beats steadily and sweat begins to flow…. Finally, just when you think it may never end, the trees get rapidly smaller, then non-existent and you find yourself at last on the sunlit uplands, surrounded by the high peaks…
…And then you notice you are surrounded by wild flowers -- like rare gems of red, yellow, purple and orange, standing out against the green of the alpine meadows, and the snowy peaks and blue sky beyond.

This is one of Canada’s best kept secrets and a rare treat. And no matter what your level of physical fitness you can enjoy it. For those who enjoy a good hike we recommend a hiking trip in the Rockies or the Coast Mountains. And for those who want to skip the sweat through the forest, we suggest a heli-hiking experience, or taking the cable car in Whistler or Banff and doing an easy walk.
