OVERNIGHT TRIPS FOR INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS
Athabasca River Wilderness Trip, Alberta - 5 days
An fun and relaxed 5-day adventure starting near the town of Hinton, just east of Jasper National Park. During the selected 150 km stretch the river matures from an unruly mountain river to a somewhat placid prairie stream. Starting in Edmonton, Alberta, you board our bus for the 3-hour drive to a quiet lake in the foothills for canoe instructions and training. Next day you launch your boat and from now on there is no looking back until you reach the end of the trip four days later. Beginners are welcome and learn as they go while there are plenty of challenges for experienced paddlers. This is a wilderness expedition with three nights camping on islands in the river or secluded spots along the shores.
