Located at the axis of three major mountain ranges, this traverse produces the perfect combination of deep and dry snow over terrain for all skill levels. In summer, the alpine meadows are lush with flowers, picturesque lakes and clear running creeks that are all back dropped by the jagged mountain peak vistas of the Rockies, Purcell’s, and Selkirk’s. The huts are perfectly located at treeline (2200 m) which makes them the perfect launching point for either the alpine above or treesking and pillows below. Feature in the BLANK Collective film, Tales from Cascadia - we promise this traverse, or days at any 1 of the lodges will not disappoint.
