short drive away, the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary gives you the chance to come face-to-face with some of the Rockies’ most fascinating residents.

Part rescue, part education center, the sanctuary is home to wolfdogs—beautiful, misunderstood animals that you’ll quickly fall in love with. You can choose from three tour options, depending on how adventurous you’re feeling:

• Sanctuary Walk – Wander the trails at your own pace and spot wolfdogs lounging, playing, or just giving you those mysterious wolfy stares.
• Intro Tour – Step onto a viewing platform with no barriers for an up-close encounter and lots of “wow” moments.
• Interactive Tour – The ultimate experience: meet a wolfdog up close and even hand-feed one (yes, really!).

Open all year round, this is one activity that’s equal parts educational, inspiring, and totally Instagram-worthy. Plus, your visit helps support the care of the wolfdogs and the sanctuary’s mission to reconnect people with the natural world.
