Hiking
Levels What do we
mean by “Beginner”, “Intermediate”, and
“Advanced” Hiking Levels? Flexibility
is the key in meeting the needs of our hikers. We employ 3 guides to hike
with each group of 14 guests each week, and we have between 15 and 20
different trails, of varying levels of difficulty, and different terrain,
views, experiences. Our trails are mostly within a 45-minute to 1.5-hour
drive of our lodge, in both the Selkirk and Purcell Mountain ranges,
although some of the “Advanced” trails are 2-hours drive. These drives
are well worth the opportunity to access these outstanding trails. These are
the different levels of hiking offered in a typical Mountain Hiking Week.
Although this is not an exact science, we try, within the variables of the
group and Mother Nature, to cater to these levels. Our guides are the
final authority on who can hike in each group, and consider safety first.
Guests may hire a private guide (see Extra Services) if they wish special
attention for their hiking abilities. Beginner:
