The Wapta Traverse is a multi-day expedition that involves staying at up to four different huts along the route. The journey commences at the Peter and Catharine Whyte (Peyto) Hut, where guests embark on their adventure across the Wapta Glacier towards Bow Hut. The traverse continues to the Rob Ritchie (Balfour) Hut, concluding at the Scott Duncan Hut.
To secure accommodations at the huts, it is necessary to make a reservation that spans multiple huts over multiple days. Please note that members of the ACC (Alpine Club of Canada) are eligible to book up to 180 days in advance, while non-members can make reservations up to 90 days prior (12am MT) to their desired dates. Online booking is available for your convenience.
