Trip Highlights
The Monashee Lodge, located on Lake Revelstoke,
gives a waterfront view into the heart of the Monashee and Selkirk
Mountains of British Columbia. This range of mountains
has captivated many an explorer’s curiosity, passion and
perseverance, in navigating from turbulent rivers to remote
peaks. So inaccessible are these mountains that it was the mid-1900s
before the last of their valleys and peaks had finally seen
human presence in their rugged beauty. Since then, there have
only been a few hearty mountain folk to set foot amongst the
remote Northern Selkirk peaks.
Now is the time for those hikers with
an interest in exploring the remote to experience wilderness
in the raw. Mountain lakes with glaciers touching water’s
edge; meadows covered with wildflowers that nudge glaciated
peaks into a crisp sky: This is where one can get away from
it all, become enlightened and spiritually infused in a wilderness
that can only be felt by being there.
This specific
heli-hiking adventure was first experienced in 2006. Rave reviews
from every guest as the best heli-hiking trip yet!
This special six-night Monashee-Adamant Lodge
to Lodge trip is an exceptional adventure and will only be experienced
by a small group of Walking Connection hikers into the peaks
and valleys of the Monashees, an area only previously known
to heli-skiers.
Spend the day exploring massive glaciers, turquoise
lakes and high mountain ridges with incredible views while you
heli-hike the Selkirk Mountains! Whether you want a casual nature
walk along flower filled meadows or a challenging distance hike,
it is your choice! Hikers will spend three nights at
each of the two lodges.
Are you up for great days of moderate
hiking? Take all you want!
Take all the time you want. If a leisurely pace
and timeless hikes in volumnous valleys in the shadows of hanging
glaciers is your speed then you belong here. Maybe your life
is already full of enough challenges and relaxing time in the
mountains is just what you need. The vastness of these mountain
ranges, their quiet existance and a very small group of friends
awaits you. As does a great massage, spa, superb mountain cuisine,
a smooth glass of wine and the peaceful serenity that comes
with both lodges.
Are you up for a personal challenge? Dare
to do it here!
Even for the seasoned distance hiker, the 60 kilometer
terrain separating the Monashee and Adamant Lodges will require
several helicopter drops to complete the traverse. For the hartiest
of hikers this is a demanding and challenging personal conquest.
The challenge of distance is rewarded with never ending views
of the dramatic ranges in this undiscovered area.
Do it your way!
One of the best things about heli-hiking is that
you can hike anyway you want! Fast, slow, hard or easy. However
you hike the views will be unforgettable!
Walking Connection owners, Gene and Jo Ann Taylor
first discovered heli-hiking and began offering it as a trip
destination in 1994. Our first personal experience was a Lodge-to-Lodge
adventure from the Bobbie Burns to the Bugaboos. Since we began
our own heli-hiking experiences we have lead hundreds of people
to every active CMH heli-hiking lodge and more.
"If
you can only go on one more vacation for the rest of your life,
this should be IT!" Gene
& Jo Ann Taylor, 1994
After 14 years of personal adventures to these
amazing destinations, this is a statement we have made to thousands
of times to every one we meet! It is as true today as the first
time we said it.
This your invitation to "Come Heli-Hiking
With Us!"
