 Mountain Hut Trips: Yoho National Park
Little Yoho Valley: 4 days
Stanley Mitchell Hut
Lake O'Hara Basin: 4 days
Elizabeth Parker Hut
For those hikers who desire a backcountry experience but do not wish to "rough it," we have added a more economical version of our lodge trips. Spend 3 nights in a cozy log hut high up in the backcountry. The hut has a common room with a wood stove, a cooking area and a sleeping area.
Savour spectacular scenery and the smell of fresh mountain air.
Hike some fairly strenuous trails up to glaciers, waterfalls, and mountain
ridges that will lie waiting just outside our front door! Curious ground
squirrels and gray jays will no doubt also greet us in the morning. After
delicious evening meals in this charming and rustic hut, you will have time to
read or chat with your fellow adventurers. 
Learn about the area's natural and human history from our very knowledgeable interpretive guide. Later, you may step outside the hut and, in the absence of "light pollution" from human civilization, be greeted by the magic of a silent starlit evening. You might feel surprised that such a rugged environment can feel so peaceful and gentle. On this trip your guide prepares the meals from our carefully planned menus, your responsibility is to kickback and enjoy.
