We've spent years curating experiences that go way beyond the typical resort stuff. Each adventure's been handpicked because it genuinely changed how we see these mountains.

Look, I've tried plenty of spa treatments that felt like going through the motions. Ours are different because they're rooted in what actually grows around here and what works in this climate.
Hot stones from the local riverbeds combined with cedar-infused oils. It's been helping sore muscles for longer than this hotel's been standing.
90 minutes | From $185Mineral-rich clay harvested sustainably from glacier-fed streams. Your skin'll feel like you just hiked through clean mountain air - because basically you did.
75 minutes | From $165Private or small group sessions at sunrise or sunset viewpoints. Our instructor Sarah's been practicing here for 15 years and knows exactly when the light hits just right.
60 minutes | From $95Here's the thing - we named this place Drakar Veil Forge for a reason. The forge isn't just decoration, it's a working space where you can actually learn traditional crafts from people who've dedicated their lives to it.
Forge your own knife or fireplace poker. Yeah, it's hot work, but walking away with something you made from raw metal? That's unforgettable. No experience needed - Erik's been teaching beginners for 20 years.
Our pottery studio overlooks the valley. Throw a bowl, mug, or vase on the wheel. We'll fire and glaze it, then ship it to you once it's ready. Takes about three weeks, but it's worth the wait.
Work with reclaimed cedar and fir from local sources. Make a cutting board, carve a spoon, or try your hand at furniture making. All tools provided, all skill levels welcome.
Our guides are locals who grew up exploring these peaks and valleys
Start at 4:30am - yeah, it's early, but watching the sun break over the Coastal Range from a peak you just climbed? That'll wake you up better than any coffee. Hot breakfast at the summit included.
Winter only, obviously. We head into areas where the snow's untouched and the silence is almost surreal. Sometimes we spot wolf tracks or catch glimpses of mountain goats. All gear provided.
Hike to hidden mountain lakes that most people don't know exist. The water's crystal clear and ice cold - some folks brave a quick dip. We pack a gourmet picnic lunch from our kitchen.
For folks who know their way around a mountain bike. Our guide Jake knows every rock drop and berm on these trails. E-bikes available if you want the climbs to be slightly less brutal.
Spring through fall on pristine rivers and streams. Whether you're learning to cast for the first time or you've got your own setup, our fishing guides know where the trout are biting and actually enjoy teaching.
Early morning or dusk trips to spot bears, eagles, deer, and if we're lucky, the elusive mountain lion. Our photographer-guide knows animal patterns and will help you get shots you'll actually want to frame.
Chef Marcus isn't into that pretentious fine dining thing where you leave hungry. His philosophy's simple - use what's fresh, honor where it comes from, and make sure people actually enjoy eating it.
Seven courses based on what our foraging partners bring in that week. Could be wild mushrooms, spruce tips, or huckleberries depending on the season. Wine pairing optional but honestly recommended.
$165 per person | Add wine pairing $85Sit right in the kitchen with Marcus and his team. Four seats only, one seating per night. You'll see how everything comes together and probably learn a few tricks worth taking home.
$225 per person | Includes wine pairingLearn to make four craft cocktails with our head bartender Devon. She's won awards for her infusions using local botanicals. Class includes all drinks plus bar snacks, naturally.
