Spent a fun day with Shauna hiking Wasootch Ridge. There were amazing views from the top! Kananaskis has been Shauna's playground for many years and she knows it inside out. She has a wealth of knowledge of the local flora and fauna and this really added to the adventure as I'm a bit of a plant geek. Shauna is a 'safety first' kind of guide and I felt totally at ease hiking in bear country with her. I highly recommend her!

This tour totally made my vacation worth while! As a first in the Canadian Rockies and being a beginner hiker, I was extremely nervous but Shauna our guide was so great and knowledgeable of the area that it made all the difference! We did the Rawson Lake trail and I can't recommend it enough! Thanks Shauna! :D Will definitely book again the next time I'm in town.
