Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park

Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, located in British Columbia, is a crown jewel of the Canadian Rockies and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known for its breathtaking natural beauty, the park features towering peaks, lush alpine meadows, and turquoise glacial lakes, with the iconic Mount Assiniboine—nicknamed the "Matterhorn of the Rockies"—as its centerpiece.

This remote wilderness destination offers a true backcountry experience. Accommodations include the historic Assiniboine Lodge, a cozy retreat offering rustic comfort, or reserved campsites like those at Magog Lake for a more immersive outdoor adventure. The park’s remote location is only accessible by helicopter or challenging multi-day hiking trails, making it ideal for seasoned adventurers. Alternatively, ultrarunners have taken to completing the journey in one epic trail run.

Whether you’re seeking solitude, stunning vistas, or a test of endurance, Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park promises an unforgettable wilderness escape.
