It's no ordinary lodge: Views to die for in new digs at Yoho National Park
Special to The Province

TRAVEL B.C. - The Canadian Rockies' newest luxury lodge set in Yoho National Park will have a grand opening on May 21

The newly completed timber-frame lodge was designed by Vancouver architect Brad Lamoureux.

The Riverside Dining Room and Grand Room are distinguished by an indoor/outdoor river-rock fireplace, a seven-metre vaulted ceiling and 5.4-metre-high windows. All cabins offer a wood-burning or gas fireplace and deep soaker tub.

Situated among 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 stresses of city life and offers a wide 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. The scenic Sulphur Mountain Gondola, the Columbia Icefields and activities such as horseback riding, canoeing and hiking are all within reach.

Adrenaline junkies 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 courses.

Cathedral Mountain Lodge is open seasonally and closes on Oct. 2.

Yoho National Park, Banff, Jasper and Kootenay National Parks form part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the largest protected mountainous regions in the world.
