My last posts closed the tale of my first two-day heli-hiking adventure that ended a trip to British Columbia. That trip was life-changing. I started afraid of heights and small spaces, and I’m not known for my hiking prowess. I have not ‘bagged any peaks’.
Yet I have overcome my fear of heights and flying in something that looks like a giant mosquito. I have become so enthralled with the beauty I saw from the mountains that I have to do it again.
If you know the Dawny of today, you know I’m not hiking. But I like to start each new set of trip posts reminding you that I write from the comfort of my home, using the journals I keep when I travel as the basis for my blog.
A good travel friend and I decided to go for the ‘Lodge-to-Lodge’ helihiking trip that Canadian Mountain Holidays offers (http://www.canadianmountainholidays.com) So I returned to British Columbia and Canadian Mountain Holidays for a week long ‘lodge-to-lodge’ helihiking trip.
Our hiking will start at the Bobbie Burns lodge and ends at the Bugaboos lodge. In between trails or meals or if the weather gets nasty, we have our trusty helicopter to make sure we arrive at our destination.
When we begin our trip, this is our destination:

I intend to enjoy the physical challenge, the natural beauty, and the opportunity to meet new people who have a sense of adventure. I also intend to enjoy the whirlpool with the incredible view and the services of a skilled masseur. :)
There’s a hot tub with an exquisite view and a masseur; I was very happy to have both.
I said I was going heli-hiking. I never said I was roughing it. :)
