Skyline to the Border: A Manning Park Backpacking Adventure July 21–23 | Manning Park, BC
2026-07-21 09:00 - 2026-07-23 13:00 | Manning Park Resort, 7500 Hwy #3, Manning Park, BC, V0X1R0, Canada
Join Guided By for a three-day backcountry backpacking trip into the alpine landscapes of Manning Provincial Park. This guided adventure follows a section of the beautiful Skyline Trail to a quiet forest camp before exploring the dramatic ridgeline of Hozameen Ridge.
Over three days we’ll hike through subalpine meadows, forested trail corridors, and high alpine ridge terrain while carrying our overnight packs into the backcountry.

The Trip
Our journey begins along the Skyline Trail as we hike into Mowich Camp, a peaceful backcountry campsite tucked into the trees. While the camp itself sits quietly within the forest, the trail leading there offers sweeping alpine views and some of the most scenic hiking terrain in southern British Columbia.
We’ll settle into camp for two nights, giving us the chance to slow down and enjoy the experience of being deep in the backcountry.
On our full day in the mountains we’ll head out with lighter packs to explore Hozameen Ridge, a striking ridgeline that runs along the Canada–USA border. From the ridge we’ll take in expansive views across Manning Park and toward Hozameen Mountain, one of the most dramatic peaks in the region.
Our destination is near Monument 74, where a border marker stands along the ridge — a unique spot where two countries meet in the alpine.
Evenings back at camp are all about good food, fresh mountain air, and the quiet of the forest.

Trip Highlights

Backpacking along the scenic Skyline Trail

Two nights at a remote backcountry campsite

Day hiking along the dramatic Hozameen Ridge

Big alpine views toward Hozameen Mountain

Join us for an unforgettable backcountry Adventure in the mountains surrounding Valemount — a place where rugged peaks, alpine lakes, and wild solitude come together for the ultimate adventure. This trip is all about getting off the grid and into nature: two nights of true backcountry camping, incredible hiking, hands-on learning, and the kind of connections that only happen miles from anywhere. Monday evening we will meet in Valemount for a pre trip chat and to hand out group food/gear. Since we are supplying all of the food and group gear (camp kitchen, water filter) you will want to leave room in your pack to accommodate.

There are hotels and campgrounds in the area and if you need suggestions please reach out. Hotels in the area can book up quickly so it is advised to book Monday evening accommodation early.
Tuesday features our main hike: a challenging and rewarding route (approx. 13 km round trip, 600+ m elevation gain) that leads to sweeping views and photo-worthy summits.we’ll hike into our backcountry basecamp and set up in a stunning alpine area surrounded by the Cariboo, Columbia, and Rocky Mountains. During this two night- three day Adventure you’ll take part in guided hikes, a navigation workshop, and learn the essentials of backcountry living — from hanging food safely to digging ‘catholes’ responsibly. This is a true Backcountry experience.
Our two evenings will be spent sharing meals, stories, and laughter under the stars. Wednesday morning you get to wake up to a mountainside coffee and hot breakfast. After we are all thourogly caffeinated we will explore the surrounding mountain ranges with lighter packs and plenty of trail snacks. We’ll hike out Thursday morning, refreshed and proud of what we’ve accomplished together.

Ice Fall Lodge x Guided By Adventure = A Match made in Alpine Bliss
4 Night, 5 Day Hut-to-Hut Adventure.
September 4th-8th, 2026
$2200+GST (per person)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Join your favourite adventure crew for an unforgettable 4-night alpine traverse through the Canadian Rockies— a place where glaciers hang from jagged peaks, waterfalls thunder through cedar forests, and the stars feel close enough to touch. In partnership with Icefall Lodge, we’re combining their iconic backcountry hospitality with our Guided by Adventure ethos — authentic, wild, and connected. It’s the best of both worlds: their mountains, our mission, your adventure.
Please note you will need to find accommodation in Golden, BC, the night prior to trip start, (September 3rd, 2026)
Day 1 – Arrival at Rostrum Cabin
Guests meet at the Ice Fall Lodge Staging area ( Approx. 45 Min north of Golden, BC) where we will take 20 min helicopter ride to Rostrum Cabin. After unpacking, set out on a half-day hike beneath the towering face of Rostrum Peak, where broken glaciers drape over the East Face.
Return for dinner and an evening of starlight and stillness — the kind of quiet you can feel in your bones.

Day 2 – Traverse to Icefall Lodge
After breakfast, begin your 8 km treeline traverse through alpine meadows and wildflowers on the way to Icefall Lodge.Expect sweeping vistas, dramatic rock formations, and peaceful lunch spots along the route.
At the lodge, you’ll be welcomed with appetizers from the lodge chef and a well-earned cold drink on the deck. Some guests brave the glacial waterfall plunge, others unwind in the wood-fired sauna. A hearty dinner and warm bed await.

Day 3 – Extra Day at Icefall Lodge
A day to deepen your connection with the landscape — and yourself.
Join your guides for a day hike to a high-alpine ridge with sweeping glacier views and nearby glacial tarns, or take a slower morning, coffee in hand, watching the light move across the peaks from the lodge deck.
Whichever pace you choose, this day is about presence — moving, resting, and breathing in the stillness that only high mountain air can offer.
Return in the evening for another nourishing meal, sauna, and shared stories under the stars.

Day 4 – Icefall Lodge to Kirwan Hut
After breakfast, continue toward the Kirwan Hut, a beautifully crafted cabin built in 2023.The 7.5 km trail descends through old-growth cedar forest to the valley floor, following the river’s edge with gentle undulations.
Drop your pack and take an optional 4 km round-trip hike to the countless waterfalls of Icefall Canyon — a stunning finale where mist, rock, and water meet in perfect motion.

Day 5 – Departure
Enjoy breakfast and coffee as the sun crests the peaks one last time.A mid-morning helicopter returns you to the staging area — carrying memories, new friendships, and that grounded, mountain-fresh feeling that only time in the wild can give.
