Heli Back­packing

Multi-day wilderness immersion for experienced hikers seeking high alpine excursions between established camps.

The Experience

Helicopter access delivers you straight into the remote alpine landscape of the Gold Range. Move through untouched mountain terrain, hiking between established camps in stunning locations. Camps are pre-supplied with food, fuel, and cooking equipment, allowing you to carry only your personal gear and focus on the experience.

Expect glacier-polished rock, creek crossings, and wildflower meadows stretching beneath towering peaks. Take time to truly absorb the immense scale and quiet power of these mountains.

Real guests. Real stories.

I was thrilled that despite being unable to walk far, I was able to enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery and wildflowers. The extra helicopter time at the end of the Heli Picnic was a great add-on….what a ride!
