&lt;p align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;- M.S., 2008&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you looking for a unique vacation this summer?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;- An experience that combines rugged mountain wilderness with pampered relaxation and exquisite food? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;- An experience where you set your own pace while learning about the environment as you explore? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;- What about interesting company? Looking to share stories of discovery with like-minded people?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;

You can do all of this and more! CMH Heli-Hiking caters to the rank beginner as well as the seasoned mountain veteran.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp
&lt;h4&gt;Ability Guide&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our guests vary widely in ability and interests. But with careful selection on the part of our guides, the mountains can offer a thrilling experience to everyone. Your guides keep in close touch with you throughout your stay, to ensure that we are meeting your expectations. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our hiking groups, organized according to interests and abilities, vary in size. We often have seven guides for a lodge at its full, 44-person, capacity, so there will usually be four flights for as many as seven different hikes. The idea is to fit your mountain exploration within the boundaries of your fitness and wishes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following will give you a general idea of how our guides determine hiking groups:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&gt; RIGOROUS&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You are very active and enjoy strenuous, fast paced activities.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;&gt; MODERATELY CHALLENGING &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You exercise regularly (3 or 4 times a week) and want to challenge yourself by hiking full days on varied terrain(i.e. hiking over a pass, along ridges or perhaps reaching a peak).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;&gt; MODERATE &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You exercise less occasionally, enjoy hiking for a full day but prefer to do so at a more relaxed pace.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;&gt; GENTLE &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You want the opportunity to explore a mountain environment in a relaxed manner.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
