  On the western side of the great swash of the Rocky Mountain Trench, running closely parallel with the Canadian Rockies, is a great and little-known collection of peaks and ranges called the Columbia Mountains. Older than the Rockies by a couple of hundred million years, comparable to them in height, fully their equal in majesty, the Columbia ranges attract only a tiny fraction of the Rockies’ visitors. Why? A simple reason: it’s very hard to get up into them. The Columbias are guarded by thickly undergrown wetbelt forests. Only the most inspired, experienced, and stubborn backpackers are able to bushwack their way to the dazzling heights which we attain with ease, thanks to our helicopters. We Heli-Hike in five of
the Columbias’ most resplendent sub-ranges: the Adamants,
the Monashees, the Bugaboos,
the Bobbie Burns,
and the Cariboos. Most
of us didn’t know that there was so much beautiful wilderness
left on the continent. No trails, no campgrounds, no pre-packaged
view spots. Very, very rarely we may see a hiker in the distance;
almost always it’s just splendidly us.
