Accommodations
Luxury cabin accommodations are available at Nipika. Check availability and make a reservation online.
The closest town is Radium Hot Springs, which is a 35 minute drive away. There are a number of unique accommodators. A stop at the Radium Hot Springs pools is a great way to recover those tired muscles.
