Take in the beauty of Banff National Park with Chicas Abroad! Join us for 4 days and 3 nights of hiking at Lake Louise and Lake Agnes, exploring the Rocky Mountains by bike, and taking in the picturesque sights in this gorgeous part of Canada.
Important Notes
Activity Level – Moderate
We will do one moderate-level hike that is around 4.6 miles, with an elevation gain of 1,259 feet, and will take 3-4 hours to complete. We will do another hike that is around 2 miles that is also rated as moderate. To fully enjoy this adventure, you will need to train for these hikes and be able to average a 30 minute/mile hiking pace. We will also be doing an e-bike that will be relatively easy, but you should prepare by riding a bike at home if it’s been a while since you’ve been on 2 wheels! Be prepared for active adventures each day!
