Overview

Discover a wilder side of the Rockies on this small-group adventure that connects you with some of the region’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. Visit Takakkaw Falls—one of Canada’s highest waterfalls—explore the emerald waters of Emerald Lake, and view the historic Spiral Tunnels in Yoho National Park. Then continue to the Kicking Horse Grizzly Bear Refuge to meet Boo, a rescued grizzly bear living in a 20-acre sanctuary. It’s not just where you go—but how you experience it.

Due to a temporary gondola closure:
**Until August 31** - Stop at the Golden Skybridge, Canada’s highest suspension bridge, with stunning views and a relaxing lunch
**After August 31** - ride up the Golden Eagle Gondola at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, with time to take in panoramic alpine views from the summit. You'll also enjoy a relaxing lunch at the resort—adding a taste of local flavour to the day.

At the refuge you'll meet Boo, a bear with paws the size of hubcaps, a mouth full of sharp teeth and enormous muscles moving beneath his shaggy fur, in his 20-acre habitat in the Rocky Mountain bush. You’ll hear his personal story and learn about grizzly bear behaviour from the knowledgeable guide while you watch him explore, hunt and forage just like his wild cousins. After the tour, you'll descend back down the open-air chairlift.
