SUMMARY:Cathedral Fall Backpacking Trip - September 24th - September 27th\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Golden larches\, crisp mountain air\, alpine lakes\, rugged peaks\, cozy camp vibes\, and some of the most breathtaking hiking in British Columbia await on this unforgettable fall adventure.\nJoin us for 3 incredible days of camping & exploring in the spectacular alpine landscape of Cathedral Provincial Park during one of the most magical times of year. Late September brings the annual transformation of the park’s iconic alpine larches\, turning entire mountainsides brilliant shades of gold against a backdrop of granite peaks and turquoise lakes.\nOne of the best parts of this adventure is that we won’t be carrying heavy overnight packs for long distances. We’ll take the Cathedral Lakes Lodge shuttle from the trailhead directly into the alpine\, allowing us to establish a comfortable basecamp and spend our time exploring the area on rewarding day hikes with lighter packs.\nCathedral Provincial Park is renowned for its dramatic mountain scenery\, pristine lakes\, unique alpine ecosystems\, and incredible hiking opportunities. From sweeping ridgelines to hidden tarns and panoramic viewpoints\, every day offers something spectacular.\nThis trip is perfect for adventurous women wanting an authentic backcountry experience without the challenge of a long backpacking approach carrying a full overnight load. Since our overnight gear is transported by shuttle\, you can enjoy the backcountry experience without worrying about carrying a heavy pack for long distances. That means you can pack a few extra comforts for camp. Bring the nice camera\, that book you’ve been meaning to read\, cozy camp shoes\, and plenty of layers for crisp alpine evenings beneath the stars.\nAnd of course\, we’ll be eating well. Expect delicious\, hearty meals designed to fuel big hiking days. No dehydrated backcountry meals here—think fresh ingredients\, satisfying dinners\, tasty breakfasts\, and plenty of snacks to keep us energized as we explore Cathedral’s spectacular alpine landscape.\nTrip Highlights\n• Experience Cathedral Provincial Park during peak larch season\n• Shuttle access into the alpine to minimize heavy pack carrying\n• Two and a half full days of hiking from an established alpine basecamp\n• Stunning mountain scenery\, alpine lakes\, and golden larches\n• Small group experience with experienced guide\n• Delicious meals\, trail snacks\, and cozy camp evenings \nHiking Level\nModerate to Challenging \nThis adventure is designed for confident hikers with previous hiking or backpacking experience. \nWhile we avoid a long backpacking approach by taking the shuttle into the alpine\, our two full hiking days are substantial and rewarding. Participants should expect hikes of up to 15 km per day over uneven mountain terrain\, including substantial elevation gain\, rocky sections\, and alpine travel. \nYou should feel comfortable hiking for a full day in the mountains while carrying a light day pack and be confident completing hikes of this length and difficulty.

After three trips to Icefall this past summer\, here are a few things we want you to know so you can arrive prepared and ready to enjoy the experience. \nSleep & Cabin Life\nThe first and last cabins have small sleeping quarters with squeaky beds. Space is limited\, and sleeping conditions are rustic. If you’re a particularly loud snorer\, shared sleeping quarters may be challenging for you and your cabin mates! Regardless\, come prepared for a less-than-perfect night’s sleep. An eye mask and earplugs are must-haves. The good news? The excitement of the hikes ahead usually makes any tiredness fade pretty quickly! \nTerrain & Exposure\nThe terrain is rugged\, and some sections require confidence and good mobility. Even on our shorter first-day hike\, there is a section of rock where you’ll need to use your hands to climb up and over. There is exposure and inherent risk\, so you must be comfortable with heights and navigating uneven\, exposed terrain. \nDay Two: A Big\, Rewarding Day\nDay two is a big hiking day\, but the route is very manageable for those who arrive with the right preparation and abilities. We gain approximately 600 metres over 4 km as we climb toward the pass\, where we’ll stop for lunch. Expect a substantial section of large boulders along the way. You must be comfortable moving across rocks\, maintaining your balance\, and trusting your foot placement. \nAfter the pass\, the final 4 km to the cabin are generally easier going\, with a few narrower sections to navigate. We’ll also travel along the tops of moraines\, which are narrow\, elevated ridges with steep drop-offs on either side. \nDay Three: Another big hike day with two moraines to walk along\, some steep and very narrow switch backs to climb up and the most rewarding views. We will hike roughly 9km total and gain 550 metres of elevation this day. Sauna and appies await our return. But please note\, you will be tired after two days of hiking so this is why it is so important to come prepared and injury free. \nFitness & Mobility Requirements\nOverall\, this trip is very achievable for prepared hikers\, but it is important to arrive with: \n\nGood hiking fitness and the ability to manage long\, challenging days on your feet.\nVery good mobility\, balance\, and stability to move up\, down\, and across uneven rocky terrain.\nConfidence navigating boulders\, narrow trails\, and exposed sections.\nComfort with heights and an understanding that backcountry travel involves inherent risks.\nOur goal is for everyone to have an incredible experience while feeling prepared for the terrain ahead. Please read these notes carefully and reach out before booking if you’re unsure whether this trip is the right fit for you. We’d much rather have that conversation ahead of time so you can arrive feeling confident\, capable\, and ready for an unforgettable adventure. \nPricing & Deposit Information \nPlease note that our trip pricing reflects the rates charged by Icefall Lodge. Their prices have increased this year\, which is why the overall cost of the trip is higher than in previous years. We simply pass along Icefall’s rates and do not add a markup to their accommodation costs. \nA $800 deposit is required at the time of booking. This is the deposit required by Icefall Lodge to secure your spot\, so we must collect it to confirm your reservation.\n\n  \nHOW TO BOOK – Please send us an email with any questions\, after we confirm you would like to book\, a deposit of $800 is required to hold your spot. This can be paid via transfer or credit card. Please let us know if you need a one month payment plan for deposit.\n\n      \n  \n

SUMMARY:A Little Wild: Wells Fall Adventure Weekend - October 15th - 17th\, 2027
DESCRIPTION:Come wander with us. \nTucked into the mountains of the Cariboo\, Wells is a place that invites you to get a little lost\, look a little closer\, and let your curiosity lead the way. In the fall\, the landscape feels especially magical — crisp mountain air\, golden colours\, quiet forests\, and a thousand little things waiting to be discovered and maybe even a first snow fall. \nThis is a weekend for wandering off the beaten path\, exploring places you might never find on your own\, learning to read the landscape\, and finding a little whimsy in the wild. \nFriday Evening: A Little Glow in the Woods\nWe’ll kick off our weekend with something a little out of the ordinary: a nighttime fungi glow wander. \nAs darkness settles over Wells\, we’ll head into the woods with our foraging guide to discover the fascinating world of fungi by glowing light. It’s a chance to slow down\, look closer\, and experience the forest in a completely different way — where the familiar becomes strange\, the tiny things become extraordinary\, and curiosity leads the way. \nThis is a special experience led by our visiting foraging guide\, travelling all the way from Vancouver to share their knowledge and help bring this weekend to life. \nThink curious discoveries\, forest magic\, and a little after-dark wonder. What better way to begin a weekend devoted to exploring the wilder side of Wells? \nThe forest has a different kind of magic after dark. \nOn Saturday\, we’ll spend a full day exploring the mountains and hidden corners around Wells on a guided off-trail adventure. No rushing from one viewpoint to the next — just a full day to roam\, discover\, and see where the landscape takes us. \nOn Sunday\, we’ll follow the river and wind our way into the woods for a foraging adventure. We’ll learn about the landscape and its seasonal offerings before gathering for some unique eats in the forest — a little wild\, a little unexpected\, and a delicious way to experience the place around us. \nIn between adventures\, there will be time to settle in\, warm up in the sauna\, share stories\, meet new people\, and enjoy the simple magic of a weekend spent outdoors. \nCome for the mountains. Stay for the forests\, the fall magic\, the unexpected discoveries\, and the connections made along the way. \nA weekend to wander\, wonder\, and get a little wild. \nYour weekend includes\n\nTwo nights of accommodation in Wells (accommodation with be in shared guest houses\, every guest will have own room & there is a loft with 2-3 beds that guests booking together can share)\nA full-day guided off-trail mountain adventure on Saturday\nA guided foraging adventure on Sunday\nA unique outdoor food experience featuring our woodland discoveries\nSauna time to warm up and unwind\nBreakfasts and lunches throughout the weekend\nA small-group experience designed for exploration\, connection\, and curiosity\n\nDinner Saturday is included\, but not Friday evening\, leaving room to explore Wells’ local dining options or make your own plans for the evening prior our night wander. \nCome with a sense of adventure\, a willingness to get curious\, and an appreciation for the little things.
