Guided hikes

in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, in search of a deeper encounter both with the natural world and with God the Creator of life.

Stretch your legs and your heart, your back and your spirit. Each hike will include prayerful reflection, and encourage mindful attention to the inner and outer moment in which God speaks and acts.

Our Rocky Mountain Pilgrims are open to everyone who wishes to grow in appreciation of the natural world and in response to God our Creator.

Destinations will depend on trail conditions
