Talus Lodge is accessible by guided hiking and provided transportation from Canmore, Alberta.  Due to safety reasons, including active mining and logging in the area, absence of marked trails, difficult terrain that requires skilled navigation, access is only possible with the provided guide and transportation.

A comparable hike in terms of elevation gain and distance is the hike from the Sulphur Mountain gondola station to the top of Sulphur Mountain. The route is not a fluffed and buffed trail. Don’t expect hands in the pocket walking!
