Hiking Adventures in Canada

Hiking trails have been a part of Canada since the original Native residents lived off the land. Footpaths have criss-crossed the Rocky Mountains, the great plains and the thick forests of the East to connect people to people and region to region. Hiking in Canada is an unforgettable journey from our ordinary lives.

Many of these original trails have been paved over and have become some of the great Canadian highways (i.e. Highway 40 in Kananaskis). Many more are off the beaten path and offer a lifetime of discovery and adventure.

In every region of the country, there are hiking trails that can take you away from a hectic urban life and reconnect you with the natural beauty of Canada.

You don't have to be a mountaineer or an army scout to attempt some of these grand hikes. Even with a moderate fitness level, all types of people can get outdoors, hit the hiking trails and discover the beauty in our own backyard.
