Ray
Rasmussen's Guided Hiking Trips
Summer 2010 Trips Willmore Wildeness Park, nominated as a World Heritage site and known for its wilderness character, vastness and scenic vistas, is my favorite place in the Canadian Rockies to hike and take photographs. The outfitter's pack horses carry our gear in the valley bottoms, while we hike in places like the one that the couple in the photo above are enjoying. The camps are set up to provide scenic vistas while also providing shelter in case of inclement weather. Hikers use their own tents and sleeping gear which are carried along with personal gear and food by the horses. This allows the hikers to enjoy themselves without heavy loads on their backs. These hikes are for the average person--they are not hiking marathons. The aim is to enjoy the wildflowers and scenery. We use the services of one of Willmore's most experienced outfitters, Tom Vinson. Please note: Ray Rasmussen is not a professional guide. He organizes trip of like-minded hikers and pays his own way. Ray's trips are not hiking marations. We take our time and enjoy ourselves. Trip Dates: (the precise dates are not yet set) This summer I have two 10-Day Remote Trips into remote regions of Willmore Wilderness Park. The lack of snow on the ridge tops allows us to hike in scenic alpine regions that are rarely visited by humans. This summer's trips are getting set up now. If you're interested in seeing the area, take a look at the slide show and if you want more information, drop me an email.
