Halcyon Hot Springs
Bounce over boulders, blast through puddles or simply sit back and enjoy Nakusp’s majestic landscape with Halcyon Hot Springs guided All Terrain Vehicle tours.
The tours, offered from early April to mid-October with three different expeditions varying in length and difficulty, from one hour beginner rides to three hour adventures that will challenge even the most expert of riders, guarantee a wide smile at the finish.
Lillan Burmeister, who was raised in the Nakusp area and has been riding these machines since she was four years old, is the resort’s principal guide.
She claims she can convert even the most timid beginners into experts and turn the most hardy experts into dust.
Depending on your level of experience riders can expect their trip to lead them through a variety of challenging terrain that include speedy straight-aways, technical corners and exciting obstacles.
Finish off the day with a relaxing soak in the resorts steamy hot springs, or for the real adventurer, saddle up for an equally enjoyable horseback tour. For more information: www.halcyon-hotsprings.com or call 1-888-689-4699.
Rocky Tour Adventures
Lush cedar forests, alpine meadows, jagged mountaintops, snowy basins, roaring waterfalls and hidden ghost towns are just a few of the places you will experience with Rocky Tour Adventures.
Based out of New Denver’s Valhalla Inn and the Windsor Hotel in Trout Lake, these all-terrain vehicle tours truly are the most exciting way to experience British Columbia’s mountainous backcountry.
Through tour guide Albrecht Jost, who moved to the area seven years ago and has now become one of the local history/geography buffs, riders will be safe, relaxed and informed.
The trips, which Albrecht and his wife Joan title a “soft adventure,” are geared towards novice and family ATVers who seek spectacular mountain scenery rather than mud bogging adventures.
Rocky Tour Adventures offers fully automatic machines and two seater ATV’s that can accommodate families, or couples that would rather share the driving.
With over ten different half and full day rides, which through a package deal can also include accommodation and meals, these trips will surely fill more than one photo album.
Trips must include the use of at least two machines. For more information call (250)-358-2228 or visit www.rockytour.com.;
