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. Since the quarters are very remote, all contain main and backup generators to provide continuous electricity. Bruce Howatt, manager of Bobbie Burns, has been with CMH for 15 years.
