      Beautiful location for a healing retreat for Breast Cancer Warriors. LOVED the connections with Malas for Tatas. Wonderful leaders, wonderful group of women. So grateful I could attend.

      This trip was amazing and exceeded all expectations! The accommodations, food, guides, and trip leaders were remarkable. Thank you for organizing such a transformational trip!

      This trip was absolutely transformative for me. The contracted kayak guides were absolutely incredibly and went above and beyond to treat us to gourmet meals, amazing campsites, and great conversation. Further, the trip leaders from Root surpassed the huge expectation I already had. Not only did they facilitate exceptional stretching, guided meditations, and a new appreciation for mindfulness, but they allowed my group to feel as though we'd known each other for YEARS instead of just a few days. I would recommend a trip through Root Adventures to everyone and feel so grateful to have discovered this program.

      I had a phenomenal time on the Banff trip! The hotel accommodations and restaurants were excellent, the food while backpacking was plentiful and tasty, and our guide was knowledgeable and trustworthy. Every detail was very well planned and executed. The best parts were the amazing scenery and meeting the wonderful women of the group! I would 100% use Root Adventures to travel again!
