Cathedral Mountain Lodge will be welcoming guests starting May 21, offering the privacy, luxury and comfort of exclusive log cabins in the middle of one of the most naturally stunning and serene places on earth - the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

The newly completed timber frame lodge, built with re-claimed Douglas fir posts and beams, was designed by renowned Vancouver architect, Brad Lamoureux.

The Riverside Dining Room and Grand Room are distinguished by an indoor/outdoor river rock fireplace, 24-foot vaulted ceiling and 18- foot-high windows, providing majestic views from every vantage point.

Situated amongst the tall spruce and fir trees along the banks of the Kicking Horse River, Cathedral Mountain Lodge and its 29 surrounding luxury log cabins, allows an escape from the sounds and stresses of city life and is the perfect remedy to revive, renew and replenish with an infinite array of recreational activities.

Guests are able to hike to Canada's second highest waterfall, Takakkaw Falls, or to glacial-fed Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake and Lake Louise.

There is no shortage of adventure for the curious and venturesome traveller. The scenic Sulphur Mountain Gondola, the Columbia Icefields and activities such as horseback riding, canoeing and hiking are abundant.

Adrenaline seekers can enjoy jet boating on the Columbia River and white water rafting on the Kicking Horse River.

Golf enthusiasts can play a round at one of the nearby championship courses.

The natural wonders of inspiring experiences and activities are endless.

Cathedral Mountain Lodge offers first-class comfort in their cabins, all of which embrace the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains with beautiful beams of natural light streaming through the doublewide windows.

All cabins offer a wood burning or gas fireplace and deep soaker tub.

Guests can curl up in the sitting area amongst the cozy throws and cushions and admire the beautiful views of the rippling river waters and one of a kind background of stone-cut mountains.

Unsurpassed guest service and attention to quality and detail, top off the experience at this peaceful, elegant mountain retreat. Situated next to the glacier-fed Kicking Horse River, Cathedral Mountain Lodge is open seasonally and closes on Oct. 2.

Yoho National Park, along with Banff, Jasper and Kootenay National Parks, forms part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, one of the largest protected mountainous regions in the world.
