THURSDAY AND SUNDAY EXCHANGE DAYS

Talus Lodge accessible by guided hiking and provided transportation from Canmore, Alberta. Guests are required to hike with their personal gear required for their stay. The hiking is rugged and the rocky terrain can be challenging. Don’t expect a fluffed and buffed trail network or hands in the pocket walking.

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.
