Welcome! We’re Erin and Evan — a mother–son team based in beautiful Canmore, Alberta, and the heart behind Rocky Mountain Food & Walking Tours.
Together, we bring a unique blend of experience, enthusiasm, and personality to every tour we lead through Banff and Canmore.
A Team Built Through Travel, Resilience & Adventure
Travel has shaped our lives in extraordinary ways. For Erin, the journey began more than 24 years ago with her first job in tourism. Since then, she has explored hundreds of guided tours around the world, gathering inspiration and insight into what makes an experience truly unforgettable. Her career path has included roles in healthcare and post‑secondary education, but a life‑changing breast cancer diagnosis in 2022 shifted everything. After recovering from her second mastectomy in 2023, she embraced a renewed sense of purpose — to live fully, boldly, and joyfully.
That spark led to a 10‑month world adventure with her then‑16‑year‑old son, Evan. Together, they visited over 120 locations in 34 countries while Evan completed his grade 11 year online. The trip was both a celebration of Erin’s recovery and a chance to deepen their shared love of exploring the world.
A Fresh, Youthful Perspective Meets Years of Expertise
Evan was born and raised in Alberta and graduated from Canmore Collegiate High School last year. After graduation, he spent his gap year on a working holiday in Australia, adding even more stories, independence, and global perspective to his life. Having explored 36 countries and more than 130 destinations — many alongside his mom — and having joined countless tours across the globe, he brings a fun, energetic, and modern outlook to what makes a tour engaging and memorable.
Why We Guide — Together
It was during their travels that Erin realized she wanted to dedicate herself fully to the tourism industry. Rocky Mountain Food & Walking Tours was born from that clarity — and from the joy of sharing the Rockies with others. Today, Erin’s deep industry experience and Evan’s youthful, worldly perspective come together to create tours that are warm, welcoming, and rich with stories.
Whether your guide is Erin, Evan, or the two of them together, you’ll experience their shared passion, infectious energy, and heartfelt connection to the Rocky Mountains.
Whether you’re here for the food, the scenery, the history, or the adventure, we can’t wait to show you the Rockies through our eyes — as locals, as travelers, and as a family who truly loves what we do.
