Details & Itinerary

The Epic Summit Tour departs the heliport flying over an inlet of Abraham Lake up to the headwaters of Cline River which is fed by Pinto Lake.   Pinto Lake is fed from the glacial meltwater of Minister Mountain, Mount Coleman, and Cirrus Mountain.

Looking to the east tucked up one of the valleys is a mountain that is an oxidized orange due to the ferric iron content.  Gaining an altitude of 10,000 feet (3048m) above sea level you will have distant views of the Continental Divide & the Columbia Icefield.

Flying along the mountain range with The Saskatchewan River and the David Thompson Highway below, you will come upon Mount Wilson at 10,518 feet (3206m) which has its own icefield aptly named the Wilson Icefield.

Soaring by Michelle Lakes, which is a twin, high alpine lake that is divided by a 50-foot waterfall (15m).  Michelle Lakes are at an elevation of 7,545 ft (2299m).

The next mountainous encounter is with Mount Cline.  Mount Cline is one of only a handful of 11,000-foot peaks (3352m) east of the Continental Divide

From an Icefield to 6 glaciers.  View the 6 glaciers en route to the base.

• Cline Glacier
• White Goat Glacier
• Lion Glacier
• Lioness Glacier
• Resolute Glacier
• Hanging Glacier

Rounding Purple Mountain, (Purple Mountain is a purple hue due to the ferric iron in the presence of hematite/limonite) you will have an epic view of the aqua blue waters of Abraham Lake.  Abraham lake is a man-made lake 19.5 miles (32 kms) long.

Returning to the base you’ll see the waters of the Cline River flowing into Abraham Lake before landing safely back at the heliport.

What You Should Bring

• Always bring layers as the mountains can be fickle with its weather.

• For the winter, a good pair of winter boots, a winter jacket, toque, snow pants, and gloves.

We will do our best to cover the listed landmarks as well as accommodate any requests that you may have.

  Do you recommend taking anti-motion sickness medication?

  When is the best time to fly?

As far as the best time of day for a helicopter tour, you should primarily consider your personal schedule, whether it be morning or afternoon, will make no difference.
