5. Golden & Glaciers

Description

Golden & Glaciers @ Camp Moose Trail in Golden BC

Aug 30th – Sept 2nd

Glamp. Raft. Hike. Explore.

Glamp.

This unique Glamping Experience is nestled in the perfect place to explore the Columbia Mountains. Situated along the Columbia River, and winding through Roger’s Pass, you will see the tallest peaks, the biggest glaciers, the most wonderful terrain, the craziest waterfalls and the biggest country in Canada. West of the Rockies, lie the Columbia mountains, famous for their massive annual snowfall, the Sawtooth Range and Glacier National Park. 

Base Camp

We have found our base camp outside of Golden at Camp Moose Trail. This unique camping spot has room for 14 guests, all within their canvas Glamping Tents. A common eating area, the cedar hot tub and the outdoor shower make this a perfect pairing of outdoor charm, roughing it, and having a few luxury items at camp.

Trip Category

We have labeled this trip into the Semi-Dirt Bag category as it requires the guest to adapt to outdoor life and push yourself on some challenging terrain. It’s a great way to experience some of Canada’s camping culture with a few perks. 

Hike.

While nestled into our camp, we have the ability to explore a vast area. We want to get you to the top of some stunning scenery. Weather permitting, we plan to hike some major elevation and km’s, as well a offer a slightly easier option. This area showcases some of Canada’s biggest glaciers, and our Local Guide, Will Woods wants to take us up to some o the best bet glacier views in the country. With two guides on staff for this trip, the crew can be split up easily.
