The Aplenglow Backpacking Trip

In the South Canadian Rockies, there are natural red hues in the mountain rock, which showcase the best alpenglow. The alpenglow is the light off the mountains, either at sunset or sunrise, that gives the landscape its most beautiful colour. This backpacking trip will take you deep into the Castle Parks wilderness to two subalpine lakes. Wake up early to watch the sunrise hit the mountain headwall and illuminate the start of your day.

This backpacking trip can be done in two different ways for private trips. Add some relaxation and camp at the alpine lakes for two nights, and make this a three-day trip. 

This backpack is designed for an intermediate backpacker.

Highlights: 

1. Remote alpine lake with stunning views
2. Red hues during alpenglow
3. Single-track hiking trails away from the crowds
4. Expert knowledge from our local guides
5. True backcountry experience
