The staff’s credentials read like a Who’s Who of the wellness and wilderness world.  All guides are Wilderness First Aid certified, several having spent decades as Canadian park rangers.  Check out this roster:  Kirkland is the program director, lead guide and a certified life coach; Cathy is head guide and fitness director whose resume includes Outward Bound instructor, avalanche technician, ski patroller and rappelling forest fire fighter; Anna is a kinesiologist specializing in exercise therapy, a Medical Exercise Specialist (MES) and a Certified CHEK Exercise Coach – and all are veteran hikers.  The best part is the impressive four to one guest to guide ratio.  To fuel your vigorous hikes kitchen manager Laurie Hartland creates guilt free gourmet food, with all meals following the principles of sound nutrition and based on a 900 -1,200 daily caloric intake.
