Some groups take only short walks with frequent rest stops while others hike continuously throughout the day at a leisurely pace. Some choose the most challenging terrain while others focus primarily on the environment. Guests are flown out to hike at least once each day. When a hike lasts only a few hours or conditions make a particular area harder to navigate than usual, a guide calls for a helicopter to move the group to a more promising location. The apex of the day is climbing to the crest of a peak, perhaps with snow underfoot, and surveying British Columbia beneath.
Accommodations are in Swiss-type lodges.
Food, including picnic lunches on the peaks, is delicious. Every lodge has a well-trained chef. All lodges offer the amenities of a full bar, trained masseuse, whirlpool, hot tubs and comfortable lounges in which guests may read, chat and relax after the day s activities. Each lodge allows only 44 guests in over 400 square miles of terrain. Rooms are both single and double occupancy, each with private bath.
