As North America’s northernmost large metropolis, Edmonton is a fascinating study in contrasts — a vibrant urban center in the heart of the wilderness. It’s a city that’s never been afraid to do things a little differently, as visitors discover through close encounters with free-roaming bison, a shopping mall that spans more than 48 city blocks, and a dynamic arts and culture scene that embraces more than 40 annual festivals, including the continent’s biggest and wildest Fringe Theatre Festival.

Loved it! Ben and Bryan did everything they could to satisfy even our most finicky guest. Scenery is spectacular. You will see wildlife, including bears, elk, and free-range cattle. Food is excellent - fine dining can be found "out there." Accommodations were much better than I expected them to be - large, modern, and comfortable. The route will be challenging for most riders, but not overly so with the low gearing on Ben's rental bikes. You will enjoy this tour!

Our tour guide Ben, made the tour all about providing you with the best possible cycling experience. His attention to detail is outstanding; he knows the region like the back of his hand right down to where you would expect to find crosswinds coming across a mountain valley. He is extremely organised from having your bikes waiting for you in the morning to the pre-ride chat (covering distances, hills, rest stops, lunch). At each rest stop he is ready for your arrival with water bottle refills, snacks set out and stools to sit on. He has all the equipment you may need for bike maintenance. One nice safety item that we appreciated were the radios he has for each riding group as cell coverage is limited in the mountains. We mostly used them to clarify turn points and to let everyone know where the roadside wild life was. Ben’s friendly easy going personality made the tour group feel comfortable no matter your skill or fitness level. My wife and I were concerned that our age/fitness level would be a concern however you don’t have to be an elite athlete for this trip. If you want, Ben also offers electric bikes for those who want a bit of a boost on some of the hills

Wife and I did the Crowsnest Pass mystery. Early frustration as the mystery wouldn't open on my phone. Tried reloading the app a couple of times, but it wouldn't work. I called the phone number that was included on the receipt, not really expecting to get a hold of anyone as it was Saturday afternoon. Pleasantly surprised when Iain answered! I explained what was going on and he tried troubleshooting over the phone but problem persisted. He contacted someone on the technical team for advice and called me back. We tried a few more things with no success. He then called someone involved with the app and discovered a problem with the app. It was corrected within minutes. Iain called back and sent me a new code. We tried it and it worked!! Wife and I did the tour-very cool! A great way to learn about local history and some easy exercise at the same time! Tour took us about 1 and 3/4 hours to complete. Troubleshooting took 20ish minutes prior to starting. App worked flawless during the challenge. Will definitely do another tour! Iain was very apologetic and helpful. He even called back once we started to make sure the app was working and ask if we had any questions! Would absolutely recommend!!
