Edible Plant Hiking Adventures

Our edible plant hikes, take you on a deep dive into the native, edible foods, in Kananaskis country. Each hike is to a different eco-system.  You learn the homes of many edible plants.

The hikes are 4 to 8 km long, and are rated as beginner to moderate in difficulty. We walk slowly, stopping often, as the plants call to us! The goal is not the summit or a destination, the journey is what we create!

On our edible plant hikes, you will learn:

  • To see a healthy plant community
  • The relationships between the local animals, fungi and plants.
  • To recognize a plant’s habitat
  • The historic and current uses of  plants
  • A few recipes and samples of plants
  • How to identify a few toxic plants.

Your Certified Professional Guide brings deep wilderness awareness skills, wilderness first aid training and safe group management skills, as well as respectful, cultural practices. Our guides are Wilderness First Aid Certified.

Small groups make for great learning, we encourage group size of 6 to 12 people.

We honor and acknowledge the teachings of the First Nations and Metis people that have shared with us. Thank you to the Nakoda Sioux, the Kainai, Pikani, and Siksika people of the Blackfoot, as well as to the Interior Salish, who have historic trade routes here. We are grateful that this knowledge is still intact and that the teachings are still with the people.
The people have been generous in their sharing, and none of us would know as much as we do, if they were not so willing to share over the decades, with historians, authors and botanists.
We recognize it is time to live in partnership with the First Peoples of this land. We all have memories and stories with our families and friends on the land. Many of us create new stories and memories on the land every day and this is how we learn to respect the land and the memories that rest there.  Thank you.

“Thanks, I really enjoyed my hike with full circle adventures.  I think your guiding style is cool, a little of this and that and even a song, a poem and impressions of wildlife!"

“Hiking with Julie has awakened my senses, she has taught me to listen to Wildlife, hear running water, and learn about the birds around us. That heightened awareness brings so much pleasure to hiking on the trail.”

“Powderface Ridge was a magical day!”
