Itinerary

We will meet at the helicopter hanger in the morning, sign waivers and check gear before lifting off on a scenic heli flight to the hiking location. Once the helicopter is gone we’ll enjoy the vast wilderness by ourselves, exploring by foot in some beautiful scenery with everything from majestic old growth forrest, toruquise lakes, cascading waterfalls, wildflower meadows, rugged alpine summits, ancient glaciers and incredible views of the valley below and peaks in a distance. We will explore mostly off trail in a high alpine setting, avoiding the grind and steep climb to get to these places, saving our time and energy to be able to soak in every moment of it. We’ll spend between 4-8 hours in the mountains before calling for our lift home again. A short flight brings us back to Revelstoke where we moments later can enjoy a drink on one of the restaurant patios in town, marvelling up towards the mountains where we spent an incredible day exploring.
