About This Hike
Welcome to the ultimate Purcell Mountain adventure! This 4 night 5 day thru hike is one for the books. We travel from 1550m ( 5085’) to 2600m (8530’) above sea level. Epic ridge walks, meadows with millions of alpine flowers, views of glaciers, lakes and so much more. The Purcell Range is a sub-range of the Columbia Mountains, and is flanked by the famous Rocky Mountains to the East and the mighty Selkirks to the West. This secluded area rarely sees visitors and is a true hidden gem.
