When Bow Lake thaws in June, summer arrives like a gift. The sun melts the snow-capped peaks and waterfalls flow again. The creeks run fast through the meadows. Lake trout begin to bite. To the woods the bluebirds, robins and hummingbirds return to nest. Deep in the quiet valley, bears, moose, mountain goats, and mule deer roam undisturbed.

During the long summer days our guests hike far into the mountains and back for the night. An easy walk along the glacial blue lake reveals rare alpine flowers, evergreen forests and sparkling creeks. This much beauty can fill up your day and your soul.
