Bugaboo Provincial Park, situated in the Purcell Mountains of southeast British Columbia, continues to draw climbers from around the world to its airy, glacier-sculpted granite spires. With many peaks over 3,000 metres in elevation, the Bugaboos offer awe inspiring mountain and glacier terrain.
The Conrad Kain Hut is maintained by BC Parks and the Alpine Club of Canada. This base camp for climbers operates to reduce visitor impacts on the fragile timberline area below Snowpatch Spire.
Road access to the park is achieved via straightforward route-finding along rough resource roads (high clearance recommended). Inexperienced or ill-equipped climbers and hikers should forego a visit here in favour of less demanding areas of the province.
