What To Expect

Imagine yourself traversing high alpine ridgelines in the Canadian Rockies without crowds or long approaches. Join White Mountain Adventures in quiet, pristine Kananaskis country, as our guides shuttle you up the private/gated access road, then onward via Ranger ATV into the heart of the Fortress backcountry. Begin your day at the top of Fortress Ridge for a stunning 2-hour ridgeline guided hike. Take in the expansive 360-degree views of towering cliffs, wildflower meadows and pristine mountain lakes. Next shuttle to a secluded small alpine lake to explore surrounding larch forests in the shadow of towering rock walls above.
