Guided Hikes

We lead the way, you enjoy the day.

Trade the pavement for the peaks and find out what you’re made of. From breezy alpine escapes to "why did I sign up for this" vertical treks, our guided trips are built for those who crave a real taste of the wild.

We bring the gourmet snacks, safety gear, and local shortcuts that the tourists never find. You just bring the stamina and a sense of adventure, we’ll handle the heavy lifting while you conquer the horizon.

Nature Based Course

Geek out with us.

What is that purple flower there? It’s actually a ruthless parasite stealing nutrients from its neighbors!

Nature is full of drama, and we’re here to dish the dirt. Discover the secrets of the soil and the massive geological uplift that flipped the world upside down, moving ancient stone right over the top of the young stuff. Leave as a backcountry brainiac, ready to blow your friends' minds with facts they never saw coming in our Wildflowers Course.

Guided Walking Tours

Discover the hidden gems along the trail.

Not every Rocky Mountain adventure needs to involve gasping for air on a 45-degree incline.

Whether you’re joining us to decode the brilliant survival strategies of alpine wildflowers or chasing the magic of a backcountry sunrise (complete with trailside breakfast), these easy-paced walks are built for the curious.

Trade the workout for geeky, ground-level fun. Bring your camera, appetite for knowledge, and questions.

Word on the Trail

Because bragging about ourselves is awkward. We’ll let our guests do it.

We hiked to Bertha Falls in Waterton Park as a private trip guided by Heather. She has a great knowledge of local plant life and lore. Beyond this, she is extremely personable and a pleasure to interact with, going at our own pace and stopping many times to view and discuss plant life and geology along the trail.

Highly recommend this option if one of the listed hikes doesn't seem quite right.

Wonderful guiding experience with Heather. She is a "master level" guide but most importantly she has the communication skills to explain the complex geology, flowers, animals, and ecology of this unique and beautiful place - in a manner that we could really understand and feel. I am 77 and always felt safe and inspired in her expert guiding. Just like when I was a kid!!
Thank you Heather,

Dr. Phil H.

We’re obsessed with these mountains! Honestly, it’s a toss-up between the epic summit views and a massive, well-earned Kilmorey Burger with fries at the end of the day. (Followed by a BeaverTails pastry, obviously we’re professionals here.)

At Uplift, we don’t just "walk you through the mountains" and call it a day. That’s for Sunday strolls. We’re here to give you a literal and metaphorical uplift by connecting you to the wild, weird, and wonderful secrets of Waterton. Our guides are essentially human encyclopedias with awesome hiking boots, ready to dish on everything from the "dirty secrets" of local wildflowers to the ancient tectonic tantrums that shoved these mountains into the sky.

We’re big on the "Leave No Trace" life because, frankly, the mountains were here first and we’d like to keep them looking this good. We weave stewardship into every trek, so our playground stays pristine for the next round of adventurers.

Come for the vista. Stay for the vibes. Leave with a new favourite peak (and maybe a loosened pant button).
