I had really wanted to give snowshoeing a go for the first time during my travels through the Rockies. I found information about Great Divide Day Hikes on the net and then looked through the reviews here on Trip Advisor. I was instantly convinced this was an experience I shouldn't miss out on and I'm certainly thrilled I had the... More

It must have been one of the toughest days of the year to do a hiking trip with the temperature never exceeding -30C by much - and this for a family from Sydney, Australia who has not seen snow for a number of years. Joel had all the equipment thoguh and made sure throughout the walk that we were warm... More

We would recommend booking a hike with The Great Divide at the beginning of your stay in the area, as the knowledge imparted to us during our guided hike really helped to open our eyes and appreciate the complexity of the environment and beauty around us for the rest of our trip. We are going back to the Rocky Mountains... More

The trip was amazing! I went with my family and boyfriend and we all have different levels of activity, but it was fun for everyone! Our guide was awesome and very knowledgable about the area and therefore made the experience even better. I would recommend Joel and Nadine to anyone who wanted a true snowshoeing experience! More

Myself & my wife had never snow shoed before and did not know what to expect. We met Joel, who made us very welcome and assured us an interesting trip. It was mind blowing what with the snow and information about the natural histaory of the area and wild life details we were told about and shown the evidience of... More

Our family joined Nadine at the Post Hotel and followed her to the other side of thePipestone in Lake Louise. Her knowledge of the flora and fauna made the trip memorable and enjoyable. Everyone got a chance to break ground and opportunities to follow the leader. The hot chocolate and home made granola made the day exceptional. Thanks so much! More

We came to Lake Louise for a romantic get-a-way.........we wanted time to reconnect with one another in the great outdoors. Our leader, Joel, provided snow-shoes, hot chocolate and a friendly leadership and skills which took us for almost four hours on unbroken trails through the forest ..............we learned and we laughed. We were sad to see our day end............thanks Joel...........we... More

My husband and I do a lot of day hikes and had already done the Plain of Six Glaciers and later in the trip hiked to the Inkpots at Johnston Canyon but we are not from bear country so we were quite intimidated by the rule of 4 warnings we had read about on the internet when doing our research...
