Columbia Valley Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Some of the best climbing, best views and best vibes on the planet. The Bugaboos are tucked away in the Purcell Mountains in British Columbia and hold some of the most infamous climbing in the world. The scale of walking amongst 2,000 ft tall towers and across crevasse filled glaciers drop your jaw. #climbing #adventure #mountaineering #mountains

What I found amazing while on the peek was how one minute you could see all the mountain tops and within 10 minutes a snow storm hit and it was completely white out up top. It's not uncommon for the weather to change in an instance up here.
Heading back down the gondola was a bit scary because there was no one else but me inside so it was swaying a bit. If you come here alone or in pairs there is a special lineup for single and double riders. Make sure you look for that to avoid the long lineups.
