Charming. Remote. Magnificent.

The south-facing expansive view of the Purcell Range and Vertigo Ridge awaits you at the intimate Bobbie Burns Lodge. Nestled amid an alpine valley of soaring evergreens, this unpretentious mountain lodge provides the ideal setting for renewal and recreation, connection and conversation. While relaxing on the sun-drenched decks, the abounding wilderness that envelops this mountain sanctuary will entice you to journey both inward and outward.

Featuring 24 rooms with private baths, guests will also relish the outdoor whirlpool, sauna, game room, porch-side basketball hoops, and browsing in the quaint lodge shop. At the fireside hearth, enjoy a glass of award- winning wine from our extensive cellar collection.

In addition to some out-of-this world hiking, the Bobbie Burns is home to some of our more adventurous Summer Adventures such as:

Featured Hikes in the Bobbie Burns

Heli-Hiking at CMH Bobbie Burns Lodge

Here are three outstanding samples of our 47 or so Bobbie Burns hikes:

Rollercoaster - Great views to the west on a half-day hike through flowery meadows. This fine hike can be combined with a visit to beautiful Hume Lakes for a robust full-day outing.

Crystalline Pass - Many variations grace this half- or full-day hike in varied timberline terrain: everything from meadow strolling to boulder-hopping and some steep ups on glacial moraine. Vigorous elevation gains and losses through different geologic zones.

Anthea’s - A half-day, resoundingly alpine hike along a goat trail up to a high ridge, with great views of the Conrad Glacier, looking down at towering ice needles and into looming crevasses.
