Heli-hiking: Canadian Family Adventure
Bobbie Burns Sub-Range
Hiking possibilities in the Bobbie Burns, named for the renowned Scottish poet, are nearly endless: deep river basins, meadows of wildflowers, icy crystalline lakes, and ancient glaciers are just some of the inspiring alpine features awaiting exploration.
Bugaboos Sub-Range
The Bugaboos are perhaps best known for their defining majestic spires. An historic destination for climbers, the difficult access has prevented recreational hikers from exploring this wondrous mountain terrain. As with our other hiking areas, lush meadows, bubbling creeks, awesome glaciers, and ridge walks are just the beginning of what awaits our guests.

Enjoy 3 nights at either lodge with guided hikes for the entire family—tailored especially for kids. Each day your helicopter will whisk you to the top of the mountain for a full day of hiking and a picnic lunch with unforgettable views. This isn’t your ordinary summer vacation!
