“Terrific tour all around with White Mountain Adventures. Nothing but positive things to say about our tour with Megs. We met right downtown Banff.

Informative and fast-paced tour of the canyon...our group was pretty athletic so Megs tailored the hike to our ability and we were able to hike up the canyon quite a ways. If your group is less active, you'll still see all the canyon highlights. Megs is flexible and helpful throughout the entire day. The bike ride along the old highway into Banff past Vermillion Lakes was great fun. E-bikes are top notch. Safety a…”
