Preferred Outfitters and Tour Operators
CMH Summer Adventures
Based from two remote lodges, we spend the days hiking and exploring, always at a comfortable pace, with long or short, strenuous or leisurely hikes to choose from. Our guests, not our guides, set the gait. Each day we immerse ourselves in different terrains. Our professional guides are in constant communication with the lodge’s helicopter, so we may make two or three different hikes during the day. Our golden rules are flexibility and adaptability.
For more information on our 2, 3, 4 and 6 night holiday adventure, check out our web page.

Heli Hiking in British Columbia
Heli-hiking is no different from regular hiking, except that you get to see more remote areas by taking a helicopter to your destination. Depending on the specifics of your trip, the helicopter portion may only be 10 to 15 minutes long, or you may be in the air for more than half an hour to reach your final hiking spot.
Backcountry Navigator for Smartphones
Typically, smartphones are only useful useful if you are in range of the nearest cell tower. However, the Backcountry Navigator app provides offline GPS mapping. Even if you are outside of cell phone service range, the GPS on your Android (in theory) will continue to work anywhere you have a wide, clear view of the sky. With a bit of pre-planning, Backcountry Navigator lets you download maps and aerial photos of the areas you plan to explore while you are still in cell range and then use your Android’s GPS to find your position on these maps when you are in the wilderness.
