This year was my first summer working as a Tour Guide with Discover Banff Tours. I’ve really enjoyed guiding people around the Rocky Mountain National Parks and passing on my knowledge of the area. It’s always a great feeling to show people from around the world the beautiful landscapes throughout the Rockies.
There are definitely moments where I think to myself that I’m pretty lucky to be getting paid to work as a tour guide. I’ve been fortunate enough to take people around the Rockies and show them all the hotspots like the Columbia Icefields, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.
My favorite part of guiding this summer would definitely have to be taking people out on guided hikes. I’ve always believed that the best way to get connected with an area is to get out on foot and explore. It’s awesome to be able to take people out hiking and get them to really appreciate the landscape around them. For some people, hiking can seem quite grueling but I always tell people on my hikes that the views we get at the end of the trail are worth the effort. In my opinion there’s no better feeling than looking back and seeing what you’ve accomplished.
Looking back, it’s hard to believe that my summer has come to an end and I’ll be back in school in a few weeks. I’ve definitely enjoyed my experiences in the Rockies and I know I’ll be back to explore some more.
