As well as being noted for world-class resort hotels, Alberta's Rockies are also famous for another type of accommodation—the backcountry lodge. For many people, the ideal Rocky Mountains vacation includes rustic accommodations in log-constructed cabins. Indeed, Alberta’s Rockies have a great range of cabin-style accommodations. These range from very basic to very elaborate—and everything in between. However, the real qualification for a backcountry adventure lodge is a remote location amongst awesome scenery, the close proximity and availability of some type of wilderness adventure experience, and, no matter how luxurious, a casual ambience.
A seemingly rustic exterior can be somewhat deceptive because these properties can be deluxe with the last word in finely appointed accommodations and gourmet dining, or they can be truly primitive with no indoor plumbing and very basic facilities. Most lodges fall somewhere between the two extremes. They all offer a memorable experience.
A TYPICAL BACKCOUNTRY LODGE EXPERIENCE
Imagine staying in such a place—miles from the nearest large town or city, or perhaps even the nearest highway. Wake up the first morning to a magnificent sunrise and then enjoy a fine and filling breakfast in the main lodge building. After breakfast, ingredients for a fine picnic lunch are made available for guests to take with them for the day's activities. It's simply a question of packing as much or as little as a person wants.
