Welcome to the Unspoiled Wilderness

Rocky Mountain Escape's credo is to protect our environment. We're committed to conserving this unique subalpine ecosystem, enabling guests to enjoy an unspoiled wilderness experience. Through our efforts, and of others committed to sustainable development, our secluded valley has been designated as a Wildlands Park under the Alberta Special Places 2000 Act. Here, we accept nature on her own terms and, rather than conquer wilderness, we try to co-exist in harmony.   Our trails are wilderness trails and the wildlife that inhabits or passes thru our area are truly wild.  We cater to folks looking for a quiet, scenic, non-touristy spot from which to enjoy our mountain environment.

As our guests, you'll be treated to hearty, wholesome meals, served family-style in a central cookhouse.  Hot breakfasts will prepare you for the days activities and a bagged lunch will see you thru your journey along the trail or shoreline.  The evening meal is prepared on an open campfire, weather permitting, or in Cookie's wood cook stove and is often sprinkled with local wild plants, complimentary wine and wild stories.

The 'Escape cabins are located in a secluded, subalpine valley amongst the front ranges of the Rocky Mountains, adjacent to Jasper National Park (east backcountry boundary) and vast, undeveloped Willmore Wilderness. The cabins sit at an elevation of 5,000 ft. with the Hoff range to our immediate east, Moosehorn Mountains to our south and the Willmore mountains to our north at well over 7,000 ft. We have taken advantage of a clearing left by an abandoned sawmill site (functional between 1950 and 1954) on which to construct the cook house and have tucked the cabins amongst the trees.

Constructed for high energy efficiency, your cabin needs a minimal amount of energy to keep it toasty warm. Solar-powered units deliver lighting and efficient wood stoves provide heat in each of the three cabins, each of which accommodates up to four guests. A well-screened generator runs a minimum amount of time to provide water pressure for hot showers, to run the refrigeration and deep freeze for food storage and, of course, to provide Cookie with her morning coffee!

Rocky Mountain Escape is dedicated to ensuring that each guest receives an optimum, personalized experience, and an exciting and memorable adventure.
