Lisa Faehl

The trip was well planned and adjusted based on the group and weather. Every day was better than expected. Jacob was very patient. He explained what to expect at the start of each hike and shared knowledge about history and area plant and wildlife along the way. I am slow going downhill due to knee concerns and he was helpful and taught me some ways to use my poles to make it easier. We have gone on many guided hikes. This was one of the best. I highly recommend Jacob. He helped us plan our next trip while we were on this one.

Rummy Kiroff

Had an unforgettable five-day hike with Jacob in the Rockies. Although the fires near Jasper forced us to adjust our itinerary, we still explored incredible places and set our priorities as a group along the way. The best part was the endless conversations we shared while walking — fun, engaging, and full of laughter. A special highlight was reaching the peak and being surprised with tea and Jacob’s wife’s delicious carrot cake — such a thoughtful touch! I highly recommend hiking with Jacob: it’s safe, exciting, and simply a great experience.

Montana Pawittranon

I had such a memorable hike with Jacob over the course of 5 days in Banff national park.The group size was perfect 4 of us. We had a chance to interact on and off the trail like a drink or dinner after the hike. Jacob’s knowledge of mountains and the area, also with his mountaineering experiences give us a full trust and confidence. I highly recommend Jacob if you want to explore Banff National Park.

I would and have recommended my experience to many people. It was exciting , thrilling and totally out of my comfort zone. I felt secure and safe at all times with you being our guide. Even being at extreme heights and endurance, I was not concerned that I was not going to make it back. And I believe that was all due to your patience and ability to calm my anxieties during the Cory’s Pass. Lol!! I had a great time and did not regret any of it. I can’t thank you enough for all I learned and experience on the hiking trip, glad I took the plunge to plan.

Lisa Eivindsen

I had a guided tour with Jacob of Lake O’Hara and surrounding area. He was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to make the day a success to see all that I wanted to see. His energy and easy going nature made for an incredible hike and gave me memories to cherish. I’d highly recommend him as a guide and would happily book another hike with him. Thank you Jacob

Katie Ray

Our experience hiking with Jacob in the Rockies was truly exceptional.

What made the trip unforgettable were the thoughtful personal touches — from engaging trail conversations to bike rides to the trial. Jacob’s deep knowledge of the region and genuine care for his guests set Columbia Wild Guides apart. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a remarkable and personalized adventure in the Canadian Rockies
