On day four, you hike along the famed Grizzly Ridge until meeting up with the helicopter for the flight to your next lodge. We've run this European style experience between the Bobbie Burns and the Bugaboos for several years, and it is one of the favourites among our returning guests.

Every one of the staff at both lodges showed such enthusiasm and genuine hospitality. Our smiles were matched only by the thrill each guide received knowing the enjoyment their skill had brought to the group. It truly was like a new home with morning coffee by the wood fire, breakfast and dinner with the fellow hikers and staff. Five star meals every day and tailored to individual dietary constraints if needed. The day to day operations of getting the hikers to and from various hikes was seamless. There was a wide diversity in age, skill and interests of the groups. By dividing into 4 groups and then sub-dividing further during the day, with a guide, we all were able to exceed our dreams….every day! From beautiful meadows and flowers to glaciers, mountain peaks and 16km lodge to lodge.. we experienced it all. Zip line fun while more advanced climbs for those inclined gave a memory for a lifetime! To be one of the handfuls of people able to hike to areas last exposed to daylight only before the last ice age is a unique, humbling experience like no other. The vastness of the area leaves one with a profound sense of awe. CMH has been an integral part in preserving this natural wonder while melding a seamless adventure experience in to it. Thank you to every staff member upfront and those behind the scenes that contributed to the most incredible travel experience we have ever had! We will be back.

From the moment we were greeted at the heli-pad until our departure last Saturday, the staff at the lodge were outstanding.
