Accommodations for Chilko Lake Wilderness Pack Trip



Accommodations

This is a pack trip, so nights will be spent camping in tents.

Description
The first and last night of the trip, you are accommodated in our very comfortable tent camp near the lodge, or if available, we will give you one of the lodge cabins. The remaining 5 nights are spent camping in the wilderness.

You will be sleeping in 2-person dome tents on a comfortable sleeping mat, which will be provided for you. You can also choose to lie beside the fire and watch the stars. Please remember to bring your own sleeping bag! You will experience authentic camping, meaning lakes and creeks for showering and shovels to dig a hole for washrooms. Camp chores, such as fire building, chopping wood, getting water, staking out horses, making lunches and salads, washing dishes, and setting up and breaking down camp are a group effort; we encourage everyone to lend a helping hand when needed.

Room Occupancy
No single supplement based on sharing a tent. Single tents can be requested, but we are limited to 2, so please let us know in advance.



Meals
All meals are included from lunch on Day 1 to breakfast on your last day.

Our campfire gourmet meals are prepared over an open fire and are delicious and plentiful.
The morning’s meal is a hearty Canadian breakfast of bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, eggs benedict, or our famous Chilko scramble, all cooked over a camp fire.
Lunch is packed in your saddle bags and is made up of sandwiches along with an apple or orange and a candy bar.
 inner is a fresh salad, vegetable, meat, pasta, rice or potato.
Everything is packed with us on our steady pack horses.

We also take a mini bar which is chosen prior to leaving the lodge. It is beautiful to get to camp after a gorgeous ride for the day, get your home away from home set up, the horses staked out, and enjoy a glass of wine while dinner sizzles over the campfire.

Dietary Restrictions
We can cater to vegetarians with prior notice.

This trip includes some wine with dinner and can accommodate special dietary requests.
