Hiking
We have trails starting right at the 'Escape' cabins or starting at nearby Rock Lake. Avalanche Chute and Hoff Range, are two of the more challenging hikes.
We are set in stunning Alpine forests. You can find wildflowers and wildbirds. Our wildlife is just that - WILD. Although we will see abundant evidence of wildlife presence (scat, tracks, markings), it is not too common to run into any animals face-to-face whilst hiking.
Rock Lake Viewpoint around dusk is the best chance of viewing wildlife without disturbing them.
Secluded
Here, you feel a sense of calming seclusion. Nestled in the valley surrounded by the front ranges of the Alberta Rockies.
At the top of our drivelane you enter the clearing where the sawmill once stood. Views here of the Berland Ridge to the left, Hoff Ridge to the Right, Zebra, Bazalgette and Mt. Hunter in front of you and The Moose Horn behind you.
Awesome, Amazing Views !!
