Summer 2023 at CMH Cariboos, Bugaboos, and Bobbie Burns was rich with highlight-reel moments. The combo of warm, early-season temps and a spring snowpack that melted ahead of schedule resulted in colourful explosions of alpine blooms that blanketed the high country and thrilled our guests early in the season. We explored glaciers, rocky basins, and rolling ridgelines, and relished in the cool waters of high alpine lakes.
