Heli-Hiking - Bobbie Burns Lodge
Via Ferrata - "White Knuckle Hike"

August 10 - 14, 2009

Nimbus Bridge and Summt!

Optional Adventure Trail and Via Ferrata Highlights

"I had no idea I could do anything like this."

Have you always wanted to do a ZIP LINE? Well now you can and that is only part of the excitement! You can experience an exhilarating excursion to the summit of Mt. Nimbus, a mountain unnamed until last year. Deep in the Purcell mountains, the Bobbie Burns mountain guides designed and created a Via Ferrata (Italian for "Iron Way") adventure like no other.

The vertical pathways feature permanently fixed cables for safety and metal rung ladders to ease movement. Offering remarkable views and a vertical glimpse of the mountains you never thought possible, this is something for everyone!No special skills or prior experience is required. Just your sense of adventure.

"If this route was in Boulder, Colorado or some other U.S. mountain town, there would be thousands of people here each and every day."

New for 2009, the guides have added a glacier walk using crampons and ice axe to build on the excitement of the Via Ferrata route. Detailed instructions on use of equipment and technique are all part of this experience.

"I had no idea I could do anything like this. I proved to myself that anything is possible. My guides, were inspirational and I knew I was safe throughout. Each corner was mind blowing. I'm bringing back my whole family next year."
