Meet our staff:
Our program is, first and foremost, its people -- and the people of Mountain Trek are extraordinary. Vital, energetic, upbeat and knowledgeable, they are fitness and life style change experts who wear their expertise lightly. These folks practice what they preach. Only they don’t preach. They guide. They motivate. They challenge. They care.

From The Blog
It's JP here, a quick blog as I'm almost out the door to enjoy yet another stunning (and I mean stunning) day on the trails in the Purcell Mountain Range. Fry Creek is on the agenda (check out our facebook page "Mountain Trek" for photos) - our guests are in for a visual...

Testimonial:
The program exceeded all of my expectations. It was comprehensive and dealt with my “whole being”. My needs for learning how to hike and deal with heights on the trail were met with skill, compassion, and patience. On top of that I was able to detox, destress and really get some practical help for turning around my lifestyle. As an added bonus I lots 8.6 lbs in one week.
