"Once in a while you find a place on earth that becomes your very own.

A place undefined. Waiting for you to bring your color, your self.

A place untouched, unspoiled, undeveloped. Raw, honest, and haunting.

No one, nothing is telling you how to feel or who to be.

Let the mountains have you for a day."

The lodge is sheltered and secluded. This is a perfect place to escape from the pressures of the world, and enjoy the sights and sounds of a primitive and wild environment.

The retreat offers a perfect base to relax, meditate, and explore the valley. The area is completely wild. There are no other human inhabitants. Your privacy is guaranteed!

Good music and a video library are on hand for your enjoyment. And don't forget the wood-fired hot tub!

FISHING: Fly out for the day to a nearby lake for some of the best lake trout fishing you will ever experience! We can make all of the arrangements for you. Or try your luck for grayling at the lodge. A canoe, boat and basic fishing tackle are supplied.

HIKING: The abundant wildlife has ensured an extensive network of hiking trails. It is easy to travel most places on foot. There are well-marked hiking trails around the lodge and along the lakeshore. The more adventurous will want to explore the surrounding hills and alpine areas. Trails into these areas are rugged and require good fitness. Once in the alpine areas, walking is easy.

There are 1000 foot granite cliffs overlooking the lake to challenge mountain climbers.

Mountain sheep make their home in the hills around the lake and can often be seen from the lodge. Hikes into the alpine meadows provide excellent opportunities to view these beautiful animals amid spectacular scenery.

Moose are common in the valley and can often be seen on the hillsides or along the lakeshore in the late evenings and early mornings.

Grizzly and black bear can occassionally be seen roaming the hillsides. In this wilderness environment the bears tend to be shy and flee at the sight or smell of people.

Wolves, fox, wolverine, lynx and coyotes also live in the area. Rarely seen due to their nocturnal habits, the best opportunity lies in the open alpine areas.

Around the lake you can see loons, ducks, porcupine, beaver, muskrat and otter.
