World's Coolest Helicopter Rides

Columbia Mountains:

Popular for summer walks cause that's when the countryside flies into a rage with blooming wildflowers, if this mountain range in southeastern British Columbia doesn't satiate the adrenaline rush requirement, turn to Canadian Mountain Holidays. This tour company was the first to offer both heli-skiing and heli-hiking. Guests board a helicopter daily to travel between their lodge and scenic points on remote mountain ridges. The "Two Night Short Escapes" leave in early July and guests stay at the Bobbie Burns Lodge. The itineraries include transfers from Banff/Calgary, lodging, meals, hiking gear and guided tours by helicopter and on the ridgelines with certified guides.
