The Purcell Expedition
The Ultimate Backcountry Experience
Backcountry. Redefined.
Welcome to the Purcell Mountain Expedition—our signature multi-day journey into one of British Columbia’s most remote and awe-inspiring mountain ranges. Over several unforgettable days, we’ll travel deep into the heart of the Purcells, following wild trails through towering old-growth forests, across alpine meadows bursting with wildflowers, and beside waterfalls that tumble from ancient rock. Turquoise lakes and sprawling glaciers become our backdrop as we settle into the rhythm of life on the trail—unplugged, unhurried, and deeply connected to the land. This is where challenge meets reward, and where your story in the mountains begins.
