Here's how it works:

  1. Reach out to us by phone or email to start planning
  2. Our booking specialist will help you choose the right trip and confirm availability
  3. Once you're ready to book, you'll receive a full information package including your invoice, a packing list, a guest profile form, and a map of our location
  4. A 20% non-refundable deposit holds your spot
  5. Final payment is due prior to your departure date

Pack trips can be booked up to two years in advance with guaranteed pricing. If you're eyeing a specific 2026 date for the 8 Day Last Frontier, we recommend reaching out early as spots fill up.

Finding Us


McKenzie's Trails West is located in the Cline River Valley in the Alberta Rockies. Our basecamp is 45 km southwest of Nordegg, Alberta, on Highway 11. We’re just across the highway from the David Thompson Resort.

Getting here from Calgary:
The drive from Calgary International Airport takes around three hours via Highway 2 and Highway 11 through Rocky Mountain House. For guests on the 8 Day Last Frontier pack trip, optional shuttle service from Calgary International Airport and to and from Rocky Mountain House is included.

For international guests:
Calgary International Airport (YYC) is the closest major international airport. From there, the drive takes you west along the edge of the Rockies before turning north through some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Canada.
