Once at the cabin, the hiking tour starts. Gain Paradise Ridge and enjoy majestic views of the Purcells and the Canadian Rockies in the distance. After approximately 2 hours of hiking, you will arrive at the summit and enjoy a freshly made lunch from our friends at Kootenay Coffee Works. After lunch and all the pictures are taken, retrace your tracks to the Paradise Cabin and ride back down the mountain in a SxS.
Note: This combination tour provides a unique way to get amongst the golden-coloured larches during their vibrant colour change in mid-September!
