PRIVATE MOUNTAIN LODGE ESCAPEThis morning we have a scenic transfer to our helipad in the Columbia Valley where a short helicopter flight will take us up to our

private mountain lodge in the Purcell range for a once-in-a-lifetime wilderness experience.

Together, we spend the next three and a half days relaxing and exploring mountain vistas, alpine lakes, meadows of wildflowers, and

glaciers of the Columbia Mountains. A typical day involves a hearty breakfast, followed by a helicopter ride to a breathtakingly

beautiful location for morning activities. We break for a delicious packed lunch, and then take another helicopter flight to a new

afternoon location. Activities and hikes are tailored to accommodate all abilities and interests, with something for everyone to enjoy.

Experienced mountain guides will teach us about the geography and wildlife of the area while expertly guiding us around this pristine

wilderness. Other options may include painting, photography, more adventurous climbing activities, or just relaxing and taking in the

view. Every evening back at the lodge, we unwind together with drinks, stories, and a well-deserved dinner.
