Gentle, folding rock and glacial formations form the bone structure of our mountains. Surrounding the lodge are routes that undulate between lakes and offer broad shoulders to gain the peaks.

The window between snow melt and snowfall is brief at our elevation in the Monashee Mountains. Summer goes hard. Days are long, temperatures are moderate, colours are vibrant. Summer storms are best viewed from the deck.

We keep the sauna stoked.
