Memorable moments of summer 2024
  • Words by CMH

Standing on autumn’s edge, it’s time to turn an eye back to a summer that brought us a whole host of memorable moments in the mountains.

A big thank-you to all the guests who adventured with us this summer, and to everyone who made those great days in the mountains possible.

CMH Cariboos, Bugaboos and Bobbie Burns offered guests a little bit of everything, with early (and late) season rain keeping the alpine teeming with lively vegetation and wildflowers. And of course, what is life in the high country without the opportunity to scale new heights, lap the lakes and admire some of Mother Nature’s finest work? 

Take a scroll to see our favourite photos from this season’s adventures.
