We've spent years figuring out what actually works out here in the backcountry. Each experience is built around the seasons, the wildlife patterns, and honestly - what we'd wanna do ourselves.
So here's the deal - we'll take you places most folks never see. Our guides know every trail, creek crossing, and hidden viewpoint within 50 clicks of here. Half-day jaunts or multi-day treks, your call.
After you've pushed yourself on the trails, there's nothing quite like sinking into our natural thermal pools. We've got three pools at different temps, a sauna that overlooks the valley, and treatment rooms where our therapists actually know what they're doing. Best part? Soaking under the stars when it's snowing.
We're talking grizzlies, elk, mountain goats, and if you're lucky - wolves. Our lead photographer Jake's been shooting wildlife for 15 years and he'll get you to the right spots at dawn when the light's perfect. Bring your camera or rent one of ours.
Winter up here is something else. We've partnered with the local ski hills but honestly, the best stuff is in the backcountry. Splitboarding, ski touring, ice climbing, or if you're new to it all - snowshoeing through old-growth forest. We'll set you up proper.
Not exactly an outdoor adventure, but trust me - the way Chef Marcus works with local ingredients is something you'll remember. Multi-course dinners paired with BC wines, breakfast hampers for early treks, or cooking classes if you wanna learn his secrets.
Got something specific in mind? We'll build it for you. Maybe you wanna combine mountain biking with fly fishing, or do a photography-focused backcountry camping trip. We've done everything from couples' retreats to corporate team-building that doesn't suck. Just tell us what you're thinking and we'll make it happen.
Some of our experiences book out weeks in advance (especially the wildlife tours), so it's worth checking the calendar early. We keep group sizes small on purpose - better for you, better for the wilderness.

We're all about keeping things real and safe out here. Here's the practical stuff you'll wanna know before booking.
We've got options for everyone from first-timers to hardcore adventurers. Just be honest about your fitness level when you book - no judgment, we'll match you with the right experience.
Mountain weather's unpredictable. If conditions aren't safe, we'll reschedule you with no fees. We'd rather have you bummed out than in danger - seen too many folks push it when they shouldn't.
We provide all the technical gear you'll need. Just bring appropriate clothing for the season and we'll handle the rest. Got your own gear? Cool, bring it - our guides can help dial in any adjustments.
Look, we talk to folks every day who aren't quite sure what they're looking for yet. That's totally fine. Give us a call and we'll walk you through what might work for your group, your timeline, and what the conditions are like when you're planning to visit.

We've got three natural mineral pools fed by underground hot springs. The temps range from 98F to 104F, and yeah, the water actually does have therapeutic minerals - not just marketing talk. The pools are surrounded by cedar and hemlock, and on clear nights you can see the Milky Way while you soak.
Cedar sauna with valley views, cold plunge pool (trust me on this one), changing rooms with heated floors, relaxation lounge with tea and light refreshments. Everything's designed to feel like you're still in the wilderness, just with really good towels.
