Wild Rockies - Mt Assiniboine

Price $1500 CAD per person for 3 days/2 nights

 

Enjoy the beauty of the Rockies in autumn on this unique photography filled expedition. Every year in late September the larch trees turn a bright yellow color; changing this jaw dropping landscape into a photographers paradise. Making the most of this explosion of color we will spend our days exploring the higher elevations all the while coming down to our huts late at night in order to photograph the milky way. Keep an eye out for grizzly bears, elk, and other wildlife that call this wilderness home as you hike beneath one of the nicest mountains in the Rockies.

 

Day 1

After taking the scenic helicopter flight from Canmore you will get checked into one of our huts in the Assiniboine meadows; we will prepare lunch and snacks and set out for Nub Peak. Up here you will have the chance to watch the sunset on this beautiful mountain range. For those wishing to do some night photography we will stay up until 10pm shooting the milky way before heading down to camp.

 

Day 2

For those wishing to go back to Nub Peak we will depart at 5am for sunrise. On our way down we will pass by Sunburst Lake before heading back to camp for an early lunch. After lunch we will pack up and head to Wonder Pass where we will spend the evening photographing the beautiful larch covered valleys. At 4pm we will enjoy a nice cold beverage at camp before going to Magog Lake to watch the milky way.
