Looking for something a little out of the ordinary to do in the Columbia valley?  We offer off the beaten path adventures 12 months of the year! 

Whether you prefer wildlife viewing and snowshoeing in February, a wilderness packtrip in June or visiting alpine lakes on a guided hiking trip in August, we have something you'll enjoy.

Findlay creek, thought of by most, as a tributary of the Columbia valley, actually drains into the Kootenay river just a few kilometers south of Columbia lake.  As the lower Findlay overlooks Columbia lake and the town of Canal Flats the mistake is understandable.  Decending from alpine meadows and glaciated peaks of over 10,000ft. in the west, to open grassland and large Ponderosa pine stands in the east, Findlay creek has amazing bio-diversity.  Healthy populations of grizzly, black bear, elk, mountain goat, moose, cougar, and wolves abound.  The upper section of this wonderful valley is protected from human encroachment by the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy, southern BC's largest unroaded wilderness.

Through this beautiful setting we have a cabin and trail network that, while unobtrusive, allows us to offer you a variety of true wilderness adventures.

If there are those in your group who don't appreciate the rustic nature of our trips, all the amenities of Fairmont Hot Springs resort and the Columbia valley are only a short drive away.

All 3 day trips start on either Saturday or Tuesday, 5 day trips start on Sunday.  We will customize length or type of trip to suite your desire if possible.
