Big Deal Day - The hike was absolutely the BEST of our trip. Aiden was a great guide. Sadly the wildflowers were crushed by 6" of snow a few days earlier. Was stunned and lucky enough to spot a wolf on a hillside.

Wildflowers everywhere - Had an absolutely brilliant day - the scenery was stunning with wildflowers everywhere! Many thanks to Jay for making the day so fantastic - he is such a lovely bloke and a wealth of information. Special thanks to White Mountain Adventures for running this with only the two of us - really appreciated this as it was our last day in the Rockies and we could not reschedule.

Day hiking in two provinces - We have used White Mountain Adventures for other outings but this was our first time enjoying Sunshine Meadows during the summer. Previous snowshoe trips have been amazing - what a treat to see the same area with an abundance of wild flowers and few people. Marie led our guided hike and we were a small group - just here and four of us hiking along. She came armed with great maps and a terrific knowledge for the wild flowers and mountains in the distance. This hike is called easy, but we ended up covering quite a bit of ground, making our way up past snow for our lunch on the ridgeline. A most epic day!!

Wonderful way to see the meadows! - Kristi Beetch is an amazing, knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her and appreciated her patience as we prepared for our outing. Her love of the mountains is contagious! Everything ran smoothly and on time. Highly recommend!

It was really fun! - Our guide, Catherine, was a friendly veteran guide with 25 years of experience, and was very attentive to each and every participant.
Along the way, we received information about a grizzly bear sighting, and she responded flexibly, including changing the route, making it a very meaningful experience.

Best one day hike ! - A top activity from our three weeks in the Canadian Rockies. Owen our guide was fun, informative and a genuinely nice person. The views were spectacular and flower meadows amazing. The chair lift was fun and we had a really great day, thank you.

Amazing guided hike - This was an easy and enjoyable hike. Our guide was Sarah and she was amazing! She was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and the surroundings and history of the place. Thank you Sarah for storing my jacket in your locker so I wouldn't have to shlep it on the hike! It was much appreciated! And thanks for an amazing morning!

Spectacular views - We had a fabulous hike (11km but can be shortened) with our guide Pablo who made it both fun and fascinating. In addition to his great guiding skills and warm and friendly personality, Pablo was so knowledgeable about the Rockies, and even threw in some geology and glaciology along with identifying flora and fauna. The wildflowers were beautiful, the lakes stunning and the views everywhere were simply spectacular!
We did the slightly harder version, walking up from the gondola (instead of the chairlift) and around both loops, and loved every minute. If we ever come back to Canada we’ll be back to White Mountain Adventures for sure! Muy fantastico, Pablito!!!

An amazing hike - A beautiful hike with lots of wild flowers and amazing views although quite a bit of smoke. Leah our guide found the best spot for lunch and was very aware of everyone’s needs and informative with regards to all the trees and flowers along the way. It was an easy hike even though we did 450 m elevation along the 12 km. highly recommendable

Amazing, although more challenging than expected, which was good. - We were really looking forward to this hike, after seeing the beautiful pictures on Tripadvisor & the internet. We weren’t disappointed, as like every other highlight in Banff / Jasper, the views were spectacular & required no filter on the photos. Our guide Marie, was knowledgeable & good humoured, putting those of us in the group with trepidation about bears totally at ease, even making our calls to make the bears aware of our presence, a fun part of the journey. Marie’s experience with the area & the weather also meant that we turned back in time to miss out on a thunderstorm, which would have not only meant we’d have been exposed to the elements, but also have been stuck when the gondola down ceased while the storm passed. Merci beaucoup Marie!
