We biked into Shadow Lake Lodge (it took about 2 hours, normally 3 hours on foot) and we were met with a warm fireplace, coffee/tea, fresh baked pastries, fruit and a chance to relax with books and boardgames in the old CPR cabin. Not only was the food simply unbelievable (3 filling meals a day, plus afternoon tea from 11:30... more

Fantastic place to stay in every way. We couldn't have been happier. The food was amazing and plentiful, and was different every morning and evening. Allison (the owner/manager) was cooking since the cook was on break, but I have no doubt it is always as good. The cabins are large and comfortable, with heavy down blankets and great views.

The hike into the area is on a wide, well-marked trail and is 9.5 miles, mostly uphill, but I am not a super athletic person and I managed it fine. Anyone in... more

We spent two nights at Shadow Lake Lodge in the first week of August and enjoyed every minute. You get your own private log cabin (unlike Skoki Lodge with its paper-thin walls) and the price is far more reasonable than some of the other backcountry lodges in the Canadian Rockies. The food was great and is served in a cozy... more
