Now, 15 years on, RMA has grown exponentially and offers 20 different recreational activities. Whether you want to hit the slopes of Lake Louise Ski Resort in a mono-ski, explore mountain trails, or kayak on Banff National Park’s ‘Two Jack’ Lake, you can genuinely say ‘there’s something for anyone’.
My itinerary for the week reads like the manifesto of an adaptive traveler who’s determined to prove that there should be no limits when it comes to adaptive adventures: Think, adaptive mountain biking, kayaking, hiking. I worry my enthusiasm might outpace my fitness, but I remind myself that saying yes is sometimes the best adventure.
Jamie’s reputation as a master facilitator and enabler of any adventurous endeavor, no matter what a person’s impairment, extends far beyond the Bow Valley—which includes Canmore, Kananaskis, Banff, Lake Louise, and surrounding areas—hence my willingness to accept his invitation. However, my visit is not purely adventurous; I’m also here to advocate.
