We did the Tonquin hike in August. I was a bit apprehensive about the distance, having not hiked much all summer but the pace was manageable with enough stops to fuel up. The pre-meeting was super helpful as Jo summarized what to expect, how to pack and answered any questions. The food was plentiful and delicious. I slept wonderfully. It was nice to relax and enjoy some laughter with a fun group. I took a dip in Amethyst Lake to cool off and caught my first Brook trout with Jo's guidance. We even saw caribou right outside the lodge. Jo and Caro were splendid! I'm planning on booking next summer!

Had an amazing trip with Jo Nadeau on the Skyline Trail in Jasper National Park. He is a fantastic guide who always had something new up his sleeve to give us an adventure of a lifetime.

Amazing Experience. Jo is a great guide who created a fun and relaxed atmosphere. He is knowledgable and an excellent teacher - I learned so much about Nature and backcountry skills during our time together. We felt safe but still had adventure. The trip logistics were well organized and proceeded seamlessly. Jo was prompt and efficient. We had delicious and nutritious food. I also enjoyed the group of people on the trip with us - in such a short time we made good friends. The conversation was stimulating and interesting. I really can't say enough and I can't wait for our next trip with High Sights.

What an experience of overcoming, exploration, openness, resilience, and freedom! My son loved his 3 nights/4 days adventure in the Fryatt Valley so much, he is ready to experience it again with High Sights Guiding next summer! Thanks to Jocelyn, their guide, an inspiring passionate role model for young people. It is thanks to him that these memories will be unforgettable...

Jocelyn was an amazing guide, making sure we knew all the details of what each day entailed and helping to support us if we needed it. The hike was challenging at times but extremely rewarding. It was really nice being able to stay in a hut because we didn’t have to carry all our camping gear and cookware and we could just take our day packs with us. The hut was quite spacious with everything you needed and it offered amazing views of the mountains as well as a beautiful lake to cool off in. Jocelyn supplied breakfast and dinner that was homemade, healthy, and tasted amazing! He was also very accommodating to a variety of diets. I’m vegan and he easily adjusted the meals so that I could eat everything. I highly recommend this trip and High Sights Guiding. It is definitely one of the most memorable trips for me.

When guiding our group of hikers with various levels of skill and experience, Jo's character and skills strongly impressed us. His priority was always our safety, comfort, and enjoyment. He was an outstanding leader, extremely cordial, and absolutely reliable. Jo has and deserves our highest recommendation.

This review can be summarized as follows: Jo Nadeau is an awesome guide. You are in good hands if you decide to hike with Jo and High Sights Guiding.

Our group hiked with Jo for three days along the Skyline Trail in Jasper National Park. Jo tailored the trip to the interests and abilities of our group. On Day 2, he skillfully (and safely) guided us on a route that I would not have attempted on my own.

The group can't say enough good things about Jo. I highly recommend him.

Jo guided my husband and I for 3 days. He was knowledgeable, easy going and was a very good judge of the abilities of the group. Everyone felt safe and had a great time! Surroundings were spectacular. I would recommend a guided trip with Jo at the helm.

Don't waste your time in the Canadian Rockies by going on a guided trip with any other guide. Jocelyn is very organized and his years of experience leading trips into the Wilderness was immediately evident in his calm confidence. Jo is focused on safety and ensuring that each person in the group is comfortable and getting the absolute most out of the experience. Being based in an alpine hut added next level comfort to the trip with the ability to completely relax and reflect at the end of each day. It also allowed Jo to prepare delicious and healthy meals to fuel our next days alpine frolic. It was an unforgettable trip. Thanks Jocelyn!
