Forest to Fork: Whitegoat Falls and Gourmet Lunch at Aurum Lodge

✨ The White Goat Falls Experience: Hike & Gourmet Lodge Lunch

Part 1: Beginner Hike to White Goat Falls

We begin with a spectacular, beginner-friendly guided hike to the stunning White Goat Falls, just off Highway 11 near Nordegg. This short, fun trail is less than 4km round trip, featuring only one or two gentle hills.

We'll take it slow and steady, following the trees up a short path to a dramatic canyon, then tracing the creek to a rewarding view of the beautiful waterfall! This is an "enjoy the journey" experience, with ample time for photos and group connection.

Part 2: Exclusive Gourmet Lunch & Abraham Lake Views

After our invigorating hike, we ascend to a charming, rustic lodge perched above the breathtaking Abraham Lake for a truly unique dining experience.

As you take in panoramic views of icy blue waters and majestic mountains, a gourmet lunch awaits. Every dish has been thoughtfully curated, blending rustic charm with refined culinary expertise. This cozy, elegant ambiance, paired with sophisticated flavors, offers the perfect opportunity to relax, recharge, and savor the beauty of nature in exquisite comfort.

Hiking time is variable depending on the group. There is always plenty of time for lunch, photos and discussion. The end time in Eventbrite is just an estimate.
