Arrival + Settle In
Fly into Calgary International Airport and make your way into the mountains. As you drive west, you’ll set your eyes on the towering peaks of the Canadian Rockies, a breathtaking first look at where you’ll spend the next few days. We hope all flights arrive before 2 PM so we can settle into our Canmore lodging, unpack, unwind, and enjoy our first evening together over dinner. This night sets the tone: connection, comfort, and excitement for the adventure ahead.

Banff Hiking Day 1
We hit the trails and we start strong. This day is all about Banff’s most iconic sights. Expect golden larches, crisp fall temperatures, clear reflections on the lakes, and jaw-dropping views at every turn. This is Banff in its prime, the kind of hiking day that fills camera rolls and hearts.
Lake Louise with its turquoise waters and glacier backdrop
Moraine Lake, one of the most photographed lakes in the world
The legendary climb to the Lake Agnes Tea House
The panoramic Big Beehive Overlook, where the entire valley opens beneath your feet. This is a hike worth training for, it’s not easy but you have to try!

Banff Hiking Day 2
Another full day of exploring the Canadian Rockies’ greatest hits. We’ll begin with the unforgettable Peyto Lake, famous for its bright blue “wolf head” shape and sweeping lookout. Then we’ll wander the shores of Emerald Lake, a serene glacial lake surrounded by towering peaks and glowing fall foliage. As we drive back along the Bow Valley Parkway, we’ll take our times and hope for wildlife sightings, and those quiet moments that make the mountains feel alive. We’ll end the day in downtown Banff where you can shop, explore, grab a warm drink, and enjoy dinner surrounded by one of the most vibrant mountain towns on the continent.

Nordic Spa Experience
After two full days on some of the world’s most beautiful trails, we trade hiking boots for plush robes and slip into a slower rhythm. Welcome to your Nordic spa experience, a rejuvenating, restorative immersion designed to reset your body and calm your mind. Move through hot pools, cold plunges, saunas, steam rooms, and relaxation spaces at your own pace. Let mountain views and warm water melt the tension from your muscles. Breathe deeply. Reset fully. Restore completely. After the spa, we’ll spend another afternoon in Banff shopping, exploring, grabbing a treat, or simply soaking in the feeling of being relaxed, refreshed, and deeply present.

Since 2019, Her Wilderness has been the leader in creating outdoor adventure and travel experiences for women. From hunting and fishing trips, hiking and camping, all the way down to networking events to meet like-minded women, we tailor our experiences to allow more women to get outside and help them #OwnYourWilderness. Her Wilderness exists to encourage women to try something new and strive for an adventurous lifestyle that emulates passion. Our intention is to create a safe, relaxed, and judgment free environment for women from all

Our recent Iowa Pheasant trip was an unforgettable adventure! Eight women, hailing from five different states, united by our shared passion for the outdoors. We embarked on this journey, not just to hunt birds, but to forge bonds that extended far beyond the field. We hunted side-by-side, shared valuable lessons, erupted in laughter, celebrated our successes together, and even tackled the bird cleaning process as a team. Embracing spontaneity, we also threw in an afternoon of fly fishing for trout, as the opportunity presented itself. From the initial awkward stumbles learning how to cast a fly rod, to shared giggles over hopelessly tangled lines, and the meticulous process of changing out flies, we discovered something far greater than just trout and pheasant. We unearthed a profound sense of connection – a connection to the tranquil waters, the expansive fields, the present moment, and most importantly, to one another. The experience of immersing ourselves in nature alongside such remarkable women, cultivating what feels like lifelong friendships, and creating a tapestry of cherished memories, will forever hold a cherished place in our hearts.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful reflection. Your words honestly capture everything we hope these trips become… not just a hunt, not just an itinerary, but a space where women show up for each other, try new things, laugh through the chaos, and walk away feeling connected in a way that stays with them. The Iowa pheasant trip was truly special. Watching eight women from all over the country step into the field as strangers and leave as friends is the kind of magic we never take for granted. The spontaneous fly fishing, the tangled lines, the teamwork around the bird cleaning table, the shared wins… it all came together in the best possible way. We’re so grateful you were part of this group and for the heart you brought to the experience. These memories, and these friendships, are exactly why we do what we do. We can't wait to see you on another trip!

From start to finish this trip was fantastic! The encouragement from the mentors and attendees created such a positive and supportive environment for someone who has never bird hunted before. This was my first trip with Her Wilderness, but it won't be my last!

By Sarah W for NORTH DAKOTA PHEASANT HUNT CLINIC 101 on Oct 28, 2025

Thank you so much for this! It means a lot to hear that your first bird hunt with us felt positive, supportive, and full of encouragement. That’s exactly the environment we hope to create, especially for women trying something brand new. We’re so happy your first Her Wilderness trip was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and even happier to hear it won’t be your last. Can’t wait to see you on another adventure!

Spent the day on the Oregon Coast bottom fishing & crabbing… and even got the bonus of salmon fishing. 🌊🦀🎣 I’ve always been intimidated by salmon fishing, but this trip gave me the nudge to step out of my comfort zone — and it ended up being the best part. Amanda kept everything so easygoing and well-coordinated, and Branden was an incredible guide — patient, supportive, and full of knowledge that made the whole experience even better. Couldn’t have asked for a more fun, memorable trip.

By Kendra W for OREGON CRABBING & BOTTOM FISHING on Oct 08, 2025

Thank you so much for sharing this! We love hearing how the Oregon Coast trip pushed you just enough out of your comfort zone in the best way. Salmon fishing can definitely feel intimidating, so it’s awesome to hear it ended up being your favorite part of the day. Amanda loved coordinating this one, and our guide will be thrilled to hear your kind words. He’s truly one of the best! Patient, knowledgeable, and such a solid guide to learn from. We’re so glad the day felt fun, easygoing, and memorable. Can’t wait to adventure with you again!

I was very excited to see a local trip to me in Wisconsin! Accommodations were comfortable, the guide was absolutely amazing and our coordinator Bri was very knowledgeable. Between Bri and the our guide Nick, I felt like all of our questions were answered and we learned soo much!! It was my first trip with HW and I’m already looking forward to my next one!

Thank you so much for sharing this! We were so excited to bring a trip to Wisconsin, and it means a lot to hear it was a great fit for you. We’re happy the accommodations felt comfortable and that Bri and that the guide made you feel supported the whole way! Hearing that you learned a ton on your first HW trip and are already looking forward to the next one… that’s the best feedback we could ask for. We can’t wait to adventure with you again!
