    We started operations in 1995, running mountain hiking trips for groups. Since then we have expanded our programming to offer just about any mountaineering adventure you could imagine.

    Guides offered through Sawback are certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides and operate within their terrain guidelines with permits and insurance.
