EXPEDITIONS, HIKES & TREKS
Summer is when traveling in the wilderness is easiest. Camping and living outdoors are much less rigorous that in the short days, deep snows, and bitter cold of winter. We offer one big high altitude expedition each spring, usually to Mount Logan, Canada’s highest peak. During the summer, we climb the mighty peaks of the Howson Range or the Seven Sisters. We also hike through the Babine Mountains. The trekking season concludes with the wonderful trip through the burning-red tundra of Kluane Park in September.

Howson and Kitnayakwa Peaks
Howson Peak has a serious history in Canadian mountaineering. The highest point for many miles around, its first ascent in 1958 was not without drama. Relive the drama now (minus the nasty bits) on the magnificent North Ridge. Two guests.
$1,250 per person.
