3 Levels of hiking will be available during the Heli-Hiking portion of the trip:
Wander
Wanderers want to see beautiful terrain in a very relaxed manner. They prefer to meander slowly and enjoy the scenery with shorter walks over easy ground. Long, relaxed breaks along the way offer opportunities to reflect, slow down, and take in the stunning vistas.
Pace: Slow with extended breaks
Terrain: Easy ground
Distance: Short horizontal distance
Elevation: Minimal gain and loss
Roam
Roamers are seeking a full day of hiking, but at a more relaxed pace. They will experience simpler but stunning terrain with minor amounts of elevation gain and loss. Longer breaks along the way allow for plenty of photo opportunities and time to pause.
Pace: Slow with regular breaks
Terrain: Easy and moderate
Distance: Moderate horizontal distance
Elevation: Minimal gain and loss
Explore
Explorers want to be somewhat challenged on their trip, hiking full days in varied terrain. They can maintain a steady, moderate pace over reasonable distances, and likely already exercise multiple times per week. This group will typically navigate terrain with some elevation gain and loss, stopping for regular breaks along the way.
Pace: Moderate with regular breaks
Terrain: Varied terrain
Distance: Moderate horizontal distance
Elevation: Moderate gain and loss
As your hostesses, we understand that traveling solo can be intimidating, but rest assured, making you feel welcomed and comfortable is our top priority. Our experiences are designed for building new and lasting friendships in a warm and welcoming environment.

Some Questions you Might Have
Am I fit Enough (yes!)
Yes. Truly. If you can walk comfortably for an hour, you can heli-hike. Every day is tailored to your abilities, comfort level, and goals.
What if my hiking group I'm in, isn't what I expected?
No problem. There is a lot of flexibility to change groups during your trip if your first day wasn’t what you expected. Chat with your guide if you’d like to adjust anything.
Can I return early from a hike? or take a full day off?
Our guides are constantly checking in with our guests to make sure they are comfortable and will make the necessary arrangements to fly them back to the lodge at the earliest opportunity. There are plenty of things to do back at the lodge; rejuvenating muscles with a massage, soaking up the scenery from the hot tub, relaxing on the deck with a good book or even a dip in the nearby pond.
How much time will be spent in the Helicopter?
At CMH, the heli will be a daily part of your experience. In the morning, the helicopter will lift your group and your guide to an alpine starting point from which you’ll hike. It might later transfer you into new terrain or move you into the best weather, then return you to the lodge at the end of the day.
I don't own a lot of hiking equipment, is that a problem?

- Technical, waterproof, leather hiking boots (Salomon, Tecnica, Garmont) – adult sizes 4-14. All are medium width
