Meet at the activity provider's office that is located in a charming log building in Canmore.
Taking off from the base on board a well-maintained helicopter, you'll fly over the Bow River on the way to the Three Sisters mountain range that is a highlight of the Canmore skyline. Once through Three Sisters Pass you'll come into the Spray Valley with Spray Lakes reservoir on the left and Goat Pond on the right. In front of you is the Goat Range.
As you get to the Goat Range and Past Mt Turmbulant, you'll come up to the Sundance Range, which runs all the way to the Town of Banff. Turning left at that range we will follow a southernly route before going through the “Gun Sight” and into the Assiniboine Valley.
Below you will be Marvel Lake and Gloria Lake, as we come right up to Mt Assiniboine and its Glaciers, Mt Assiniboine being the tallest peak in the southern Rockies topping out at over 12,000ft! we will get up close to the glaciers and allow a lot of time for pictures and videos for all seats.
Once out of the “Assiniboine Core” we will head towards Marvel Pass and the boarder with British Columbia, flying over the continental divide present at the border of Alberta and British Columbia. Flying over Mt Turner, we will come to the south side of the Spray Lakes and follow the lake shore towards the Bow Valley.
We will go through Stewarts Gap, into the Bow Valley as the town of Canmore comes back into view as we head back to base.
