  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

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.
