Arrive at CrossRiver Wilderness Centre by 5:00 p.m. After preliminary introductions, a hot evening meal will be served in the main lodge. After dinner, discuss more about the coming multi-sport adventures, and then the evening is yours to relax at the Wilderness Centre.

After an early breakfast, pack some small day packs and prepare to head out on a full-day hiking out-trip. Once at the trailhead (approximately a 45 minute drive), you will have an on-location safety talk, and begin the journey. The trail takes you through dense forest and scree slopes before arriving at a large subalpine meadow, with colourful wildflowers everywhere. Continue hiking to a picturesque high subalpine lake. At the large lake, you can spend some time exploring around the area, whether walking around the lake itself; hiking up to the adjacent ridgeline; or even moving further up above the treeline onto a snowpatch, or scree slope. We will start making our way back down to the trailhead by 3:00 p.m., arriving back at CrossRiver for dinner. The night is again yours to relax at the Wilderness Centre, whether alone with a book, around the campfire, or in the outdoor wood-fired hot tub. Walking distance: 7-8 km, one way; elevation gain: 700m.

After an early breakfast, you will spend today on a full-day river rafting trip on the Kootenay River. Depending on time of year, the waters may range from Class 2 to 3+, with some short sections of low Class 4 rapids in June. The surrounding cliffs, characteristic waterfalls, and good stories along the way make this trip a fun and unique way to enjoy the mountains. You will aim to be back at CrossRiver by 5:00 p.m., just in time to wash up before dinner.

Make the most of your final day with one last half-day hike. After reaching the trailhead, begin a steep, though short, ascent up to a high alpine mountain ridge—well above treeline (if your legs are still recovering from previous days, a gentler half-day hike is also possible instead). The hike is, but steady, as it is a very unique experience to be able to reach this high on only a half-day hike. Pass through thinning forest and then large low alpine meadows at treeline, with carpets of wildflowers, before reaching the ridgeline with 360˚ views of mountain peaks. Head back down to the trailhead by 12:00 p.m., and arrive back at CrossRiver for an early-afternoon lunch. After lunch you will depart. Walking distance: 3-4 km, one way; elevation gain: 600m.
