Well, you could definitely hike up and down (13km hike each way) but the incredible helicopter flights in and out are something that shouldn&#8217;t be missed AND your flights are included in your booking fee!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s recommended you stay in Golden the night before, so you can arrive at the hangar for your early morning flight. Purcell Mountain Lodge has partnered with local Golden hotels to offer a great rate for it&#8217;s guests. We chose the Prestige Inn for our overnight stay, with Mini and I enjoying a King size room with a super comfy bed and sitting area. Bonus points for the bathroom TV and the well-stocked mini fridge, the pool &amp; fitness area, and the yummy Cantina located on the property. It was a short drive from the hotel to the hangar, so we arrived at Alpine Helicopters with plenty of time to spare for our 8:00am flight. Once there, we filled out our waivers, were weighed as a group (we took a few helicopters up because of our group size), and handed over our gear and luggage to make sure we didn&#8217;t go over the weight limit (25 lbs \/ person). Gotta pack light, which is something I totally excel at! (Look for a travel section coming soon with all of our best packing and travel hacks.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15021 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_Alpine_Helicopters.jpg\" alt=\"Taking Alpine Helicopters To Purcell Mountain Lodge in BC, Canada\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_Alpine_Helicopters.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_Alpine_Helicopters-620x465.jpg 620w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_Alpine_Helicopters-644x483.jpg 644w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_Alpine_Helicopters-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Taking a helicopter over the The Rocky Mountains is absolutely breathtaking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15317 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_view_from_alpine_helicopter.jpg\" alt=\"The view from the Alpine Helicopter, heading to Purcell Mountain Lodge in BC, Canada\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_view_from_alpine_helicopter.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_view_from_alpine_helicopter-620x465.jpg 620w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_view_from_alpine_helicopter-644x483.jpg 644w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_view_from_alpine_helicopter-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"symple-divider dashed \" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\" \/>\n<h2><strong>What To Expect At The Lodge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few different options for accommodations at Purcell Mountain Lodge, depending on your preference and how many people are in your group. We stayed in the main lodge, with the staff, where we enjoyed the use of 6 rooms with a variety of bed combinations to fit any sleeping arrangement! We had a bunkbed with a double on the bottom and a twin on top, a sink, and a lovely little balcony where we took in incredible sunsets every night.<\/p>\n<p>The main lodge is so big that even with us taking up six rooms, there was still more than enough space for the 6 staff members that were there during our trip!<\/p>\n<p>There is also a guest house beside the sauna for a more private experience where you can cook your own meals and enjoy your time with your group. It&#8217;s also a great option for private guides wanting to bring small groups into the lodge. There&#8217;s a small bar area, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and coat room on the main floor. The basement houses the staff rooms and storage. The top floor small library, lots of rooms, bathrooms and showers, and each floor has a massive wraparound veranda with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/358vcVy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adirondack chairs<\/a>. We spent loads on time sipping tea and watching the hummingbirds at the many feeder, and the ground squirrels scurrying about.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"symple-divider dashed \" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\" \/>\n<h2><strong>When You Arrive<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your helicopter will land just outside the lodge, on their own little helipad , where the staff will greet you and your gear will be offloaded while you head inside to partake in a continental breakfast spread that has been laid out along with coffee and tea at the ready!\u00a0Once the helicopters have brought everyone and all the gear is inside, the staff will introduce themselves, assign your rooms to you, and you will be free to take your bags and unpack. After everyone is settled in and unpacked, lunch orders are filled out for the week by all the guests and given to Chef to prepare. Soon it will be time for the staff to explain the day and the options for hikes, while finding out everyone&#8217;s skill level.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"symple-divider dashed \" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\" \/>\n<h2><strong>Food And Drinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15333\" src=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_champagne_wine_break_outside.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_champagne_wine_break_outside.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_champagne_wine_break_outside-620x465.jpg 620w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_champagne_wine_break_outside-644x483.jpg 644w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_champagne_wine_break_outside-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15318\" src=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_breakfast_food.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_breakfast_food.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_breakfast_food-620x233.jpg 620w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_breakfast_food-644x242.jpg 644w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_breakfast_food-768x288.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When we were getting ready to board our helicopter to the lodge, the departing guests that had just landed called out to us &#8220;Better loosen your belts!

Every morning there was pans of eggs, bacon, fruit, granola, yogurt, pastries and juices, and of course all the tea and coffee you can drink, Lunch was according to what you chose, a sandwich\/wrap, fruit\/veggies, and a cookie.<\/p>\n<p>After hike snacks consisted of things like flatbreads, charcuteries, and other appetizers. Dinner was always a three course meal consisting of salad, crackers or rolls, a meat or pasta main, and a dessert. We enjoyed fish, bison, pappardelle, mousse, cake, pavlova and so much more during our stay.

A three course meal awaited us every night, even catering to our sauce hating mini and a pescatarian relative.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner everyone would usually shower if they hadn&#8217;t already, and enjoy quiet time on the deck to watch the sunset with a cup of tea or nightcap before bed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15322 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_sunset.jpg\" alt=\"Purcell Mountain Lodge amazing views - sunset\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_sunset.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_sunset-620x465.jpg 620w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_sunset-644x483.jpg 644w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Purcell_Mountain_Lodge_rocky_mountain_sunset-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy hiking, this is the resort for you.

Our guides were super knowledgeable about the wildlife, flora &amp; fauna, peaks, and everything in between. There was all kinds of wildlife to photograph and learn about (even a bear) and the guides made sure to keep in contact with each other and the lodge to make sure we were always safe on the trails.<\/p>\n<p>The views experienced are unreal.
