Hiking in The Rockies - Expression of Interest

Four days of hiking in the beautiful Canadian Rockies. We'll use Hi Lake Louise Alpine Centre as our base
and the hikes should be within an hour's drive from there.

Hi Lake Louise Alpine Centre is part of the Hostelworld system of reasonably priced lodging. It is highly recommended that selected participants who wish to stay there make their bookings ASAP because of high demand during the summer period. Membership for the Hostel World is $25 plus tax for two years and with it members get 10% off their stay.

The Canadian Alpine Club members also enjoy a 10% discount with this hostel. There are alternatives such as hotels, campgrounds in the greater Lake Louise/Banff area, but availability as well as costs may be a challenge in high season.

In addition to the organizers, we'll take a maximum of 20 participants, who are expected to make their own arrangements for transportation as well as lodging. Please be advised that the same "Release, waiver and assumption of risk" rule from VOA shall apply to this outing as well, which participants will need to sign/agree to prior to any hikes.
