Talking Rock Tours

See Alberta like you’ve never seen it before.

Talking Rock provides educational small group tours of the geological wonders of Alberta, including both natural and cultural history storytelling components. Along with guided hikes through beautiful natural areas, participants also hear mini-talks (5 to 10 minutes) during each journey to provide even more educational background to your experience.

Mission

At Talking Rock Tours, our mission is to provide memorable experiences and to bring awareness of the region’s earth sciences and local Indigenous knowledge to all who participate in our tours.

Vision

Our vision is to bring the natural world and local history to life through small, intimate and educational guided tours. We want to offer a broader understanding of the natural environment and Indigenous history to foster respect, promote understanding and encourage lifelong learning and exploration. We hope our participants share what they learn with their family and friends to multiply this impact even further.
