About Program
Operating in a relatively remote, subalpine valley amongst the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies and adjacent to Jasper National Park and vast, undeveloped Willmore Wilderness, Rocky Mountain Escape offers log cabin accommodation and nature-oriented experiences for guests looking for a quiet, scenic and non-touristy spot from which to enjoy a wilderness experience.
During the summer, our volunteer(s) would be leading our interpretive day hikes as well as having the opportunity to join guests on specialty excursions (horseback riding, canoeing, and whitewater rafting). Volunteers learn our wilderness trails and become keenly aware of the unique flora and fauna found in our area, as well as becoming familiar and comfortable with the behaviour of wildlife who call this valley “home”.
Volunteers also become intimately involved with the day-to-day running of a small ecotourism operation, helping with daily chores (meal preparation, cleaning, maintenance) as necessary .
Yes, the program is running for 2021. I take on volunteers between mid-May and mid-October.
