About

Valemount is home to several shorter trails for those looking to see a bit of scenery on their own feet while visiting the village. Our Half-Day Hikes are tailored to you group's interests and abilities and can include everything from interpretative forest safaris looking glimpses of wildflowers and wildlife, to steep hikes with wide open viewpoints and everything in between.

Your guide, Ben Nearingburg, is the author of two guidebooks for the Jasper/Robson/Valemount region and can help you connect with the history, and ecology of the Valemount region.

We provide hiking poles, water, and snacks for your hike; all you need to bring is a pair of boots and a sense of adventure.
