TROPHY CHALET - Three days of spectacular alpine trekking with a comfortable cabin to stay in!  A weekend with a group of like-minded women is just what you need to return to your life refreshed and renewed. The trek takes you through the Trophy Mountains, home to the most beautiful flower meadows in Wells Gray Park.

Day 1: We will meet at 10:00 A.M. in Clearwater drive one hour up a dirt road to the trailhead at 5300 ft. (1630m). The trail goes up through mature forest and into lush meadows of alpine flowers. It is pure alpine from here to the Trophy Mountain Chalet which sits at 7000 ft (2153m). The view from the Chalet is superb, and the area has great hiking with small peaks, lakes, and flower meadows everywhere. The hike from the road takes about two and a half hours and we gain 1700 ft. (523m) over 4 km. After lunch you will have a short day hike to start and explore the Trophy Mtns.

Day 2: On this day you will take a long hike in the surrounding Trophy Mountains, climb two or three peaks in the range, and swim in the numerous lakes. Fantastic views all day with an incredible feeling of wilderness. Six hours of hiking in the alpine - 7 km.

Day 3: Today is a lazy morning to enjoy the fantastic view and a great breakfast. You have the morning to take a half day hike in the surrounding mountain wilderness. After a great luch at the chalet, you will hike down the mountain to the van. You will get to see some fantastic views on way back to Wells Gray Ranch - Spahats Waterfalls and the Clearwater River lookout.
