BEAVERFOOT
LODGE

The Ultimate
Western Experience
Beaverfoot Lodge is situated in a wilderness valley adjacent to Yoho National Park. Beaverfoot is family owned, operated and offers an unique combination of rustic wilderness and physical comfort.

The Lodge offers 11 separate bedrooms with a shared bathroom facility, and a large lounge with a central fireplace for cozy evenings. You'll enjoy three delicious meals a day in our dining room. Snacks of fruit or fresh baked goods are available for munching at any time.

Relax on our front porch and enjoy the spectacular scenery and wildlife. Ranch activities include: trail riding, hiking, canoeing, fishing, horseshoes, hayrides, and evening campfires. You can take a refreshing dip in the icy mountain pond, or relax in the sauna too.

Trail riding is the prime summer activity at Beaverfoot Lodge. The terrain varies from high alpine meadows and breathtaking glacial fields, to quiet trails through thick woods by the Beaverfoot River to a spectacular viewpoint facing Wapta Falls. We also offer a 3-day pack trip through the back country to the top of Helmet Falls.

Our Covered Wagon Campground has twenty wagons which sleep 2 people each. These stationary wagons are circled around a central campfire and serve as bedrooms next to toilet and shower facilities. Meals are available on request. It's a perfect place for a wedding, family reunion or club meeting. Open May 15 to Labor Day.

In the fall, we offer big game hunting. In winter, there's snowmobiling and xcountry skiing trails, and snowshoeing.

Nestled in the mountains overlooking the Columbia Valley and River, 10 minutes South of Golden, B.C., you will find Kapristo Lodge. It gets its name from the mountain on whose base it sits. Yoho, Banff, Mount Revelstoke, Glacier, Kootenay and Jasper National Parks, are each within an easy day's drive.

Whether you are here for adventure or relaxation Golden and the surrounding area offers a mirage of different activities. Golden is a year round tourist destination. For the more adventurous there's back country or heli skiing. For for the skier that prefers the luxury of a groomed run, Kicking Horse Ski Resort is nearby,

End the day with a soak in our Jacuzzi tub or a sauna overlooking the beautiful Columbia Valley.

We have several winter adventure packages for you to choose from. All packages include accommodations at the beautiful Kapristo Lodge. Our guest rooms and suites have private baths and sleep from 2 to 6 people. A delicious full breakfast is also included.
