    I've climbed with Ridgeline Guiding now 2 years in a row. First, if you are going to be out roaming the mountains all day you couldn't ask for a better companion than Patrick. Very professional and his fun attitude makes for an enjoyable day. Whether you are looking to try ice climbing for a one day adventure or build your skills for a new climber, they will get you set up for a safe and fun day on the ice. Patrick is great to learn from. Very patient and willing to take the time to teach proper technique to ensure your success. After 3 days I feel confident to come back and build on this experience in the future climbing with Patrick. I'll be back next year climbing with Ridgeline for sure! Thanks Patrick!

    Since we came to Canada with a commercial group we were expected to use Canadian guides for our…read morehikes in Banff. We were assigned 2 female guides for the trail hikes and 2 male guides for the glacial trekking portions of our trip. When using guides, my only requirement is that they keep us safe and help us along our routes that are unfamiliar. Our female guides were friendly and helpful. When they couldn't keep us together due to the varied skill levels of our group, they offered to split us up so that everyone could have an enjoyable and challenging time. One group went on a trail run while the other continued on a hike. The guides' knowledge of the area was great and were learned a lot. Our male guides, though we spent 3 days together, did not take the time to get to know us or understand our expectations. Though they were knowledgeable about the route and trained us well on using our equipment, we were discouraged to ask questions. There were many times during our hikes that I was hiking alone and was unsure of the trail, especially during difficult portions. Communication could have been better overall. Had a great time on our trip despite the latter portion and I'm sure this isn't indicative of all Yam's guides.

    I tried to book crevasse rescue with Yam and they cancelled it at the last minute as they did not…read morehave enough participants. I emailed to ask why they didn't advertise the trip on their social media. I thought it would be prudent for them to post a spot was left in the course on their FB or insta to try to get enough people. They never did this and I booked with another guiding company. I would have thought this was a risk Yam was taking and actually makes it harder for their guides to make a living.

    Hey, When I went to…read morethe Rec Centre in Canmore, I really enjoyed it. They have a gym, the Cascade Fitness Room in the Rec Centre, that doesn't seem very big, but is a deceivingly good gym. It's got a family atmosphere, so it's nice because there are families there and not people on 'roids'. When I went there, I'd often joke with the people that work there at the front desk, They have a good sense of humour and are friendly. One of the good things about the gym was that it was close to my place. Even when my car was 'dead', it wasn't a big deal 'cause I could walk there pretty easily. It didn't hurt either that the Starbucks was between my place and the gym. :) The gym has quite a few things actually. I use to go through some different excercises when I went. They have really nice free weights that don't hurt your hands, some good stationary bikes and treadmills, an elliptical machine and a stairclimber too. They also have a place for bench press excercises. On top of that, they have a 'squat rack', which is a place to do free weight squats, pull ups, chin ups and even T Bar rows. The back extension equipment is nice, and is designed in such a way that people can also use it to do dips if they want to. Then, they have a mutistation part of the gym, where multiple excercises are basically put into one machine to save space. When I first saw the multistation, I didn't think it was all that great...but you know what...I was wrong. That multistation is AWESOME. They have a leg extension part of the machine that is really nice. One of the features of it is that there are multiple 5 pound weights that you can use between the 15 pound increments. So basically, people can increase the weight by 5 pounds instead of 15 on all the excercises on that multistation machine, which is awesome. The machine also features a really nice standing leg curl section, a lat pull down section, and a low cable section for tricep extensions and other excercises. One of the parts of that multistation that I love is the shoulder press/bench press section. It's nice because you're not 'locked' into the machine if you're doing shoulder press or bench press excercises. The shoulder press is fantastic. The bench press is really nice because it compliments a free weight bench press in that you can probably add more weight to the machine and give your muscles 'a different look' so that there is not as much muscle memory to the same excercise. There are also some nice mats to just relax and stretch. One of the nice things about this gym is that it is usually not too busy, and most of the people there seem pretty laid back, which is really important in a gym. They have a great view of the moutains there, so it has a nice feeling to it. The membership rate is unbelievable for a gym that has so much. 5 stars all the way.

    I would not listen to the other reviews that say Ha Ling Peak "is for everyone!" or that it's…read more"easy". This trail is definitely difficult for a multitude of reasons -- and yes, there are families on the trail but to actually complete the whole trail (which is what my review is about) there is a scramble at the summit which can be terrifying for those afraid of heights and/or inexperienced hikers, especially with the wind (and hail, when we hiked it) blowing at you. Regardless of the fact that we did this hike because we saw other reviews saying it was a trail for everybody, beginners included, we were able to complete most of it. We were a group of 5 (with our parents) who needed some breaks along the way and so our total hike time ended up being 4 hours. It was a great workout with some unparalleled views so I'd attempt at least a portion of it if you can. I'd just say to really watch for the weather forecast before you go. We had a 30 percent chance of rain at a time earlier in the day but we ended up being pounded with hailstorms at the top of the summit where there was literally zero cover. As long as you time your hike correctly, in terms of the weather, I think it'd be a very pleasant experience! Even so, the hail made it an experience that I will never forget. We didn't see much wildlife coming up, probably due to the fact that it's a pretty popular hike. It's also super dog friendly which is wonderful!

    To get to Ha Ling Peak: - Drive to Canmore, then drive up…read morehighway #742 (the Smith-Dorrien-Spray Lakes Trail) towards Canmore Nordic Centre. - On Highway #742 pass the Nordic Centre and continue on the gravel road until you reach Goat Creek Parking Lot on the right hand side (there is a sign that says Goat Creek Parking Lot). - Park at Goat Creek Parking lot and cross the gravel road, cross the little bridge and you will find the trail head. Labelled as a moderate / Intermediate hike... I'm outta shape so I found it to be more than moderate as the hill is steep ALL the way up and down, plus there is the scramble at the top! but I made it and so can you! Endurance is your best friend here as you will be walking up a mountain on an incline the WHOLE time with not many (if any) flat areas. With that said, there were grandmas and grandpas, kids, dogs, and even parents carrying babies in backpacks on the trail!!! Wow!!! Be sure to wear layers as you will sweat and get hot while in the trees, but once past the tree line it is windy and chilly....so...tank top, t-shirt, wind breaker, grippy gloves (for scrambling), and a toque! (haha - wish I had brought mine!). Bring a backpack with water and lunch and enjoy the view! It took us just under 5 hrs (round trip) to complete (with my MANY stops and VERY leisurely pace!! Plus lunch near the top). The view was spectacular and well worth the hike up. Once at the top you have a view of the town of Canmore, plus a 360 view all around!! My toes and knees did hurt coming down as it is steep... and I even had good shoes on! So definitely wear good shoes (preferably hiking ones) and bring walking sticks if you have them. Highly recommended! p.s. once called "Chinaman's peak"
