British Columbia's abundant nature turns indoors into a place just for sleeping. Cathedral Mountain Lodge will have even the most hardened urbanite hiking, fishing, and rafting in no time.
EXPERIENCE
If you're looking to confirm that Canada is indeed the land of big skies, the Cathedral Mountain Lodge in Yoho National Park isn't the place to do it. It's difficult to feel awe for sky that's obscured by towering mountains and snowy peaks, especially when an abundance of other landscapes vie for your attention.
A log cabin near the glacier-fed Kicking Horse River, Cathedral Mountain Lodge is a nature infused vacation for fresh air worshipers. Stone fireplaces, private decks, and wooden, vaulted ceilings complete the natural wilderness feel and turn simple rooms into cozy nests.
British Columbia's diverse natural environments are prime for romping around. Hike alpine valleys, heli-tour over an ice field, or take in a round of golf. Snowshoe to the nearby Lake Louise or mountain bike down nerve-wracking trails before warming the cockles with a steaming hot chocolate. They don't call this place "super-natural" for nothin'.
