"Skoki Lodge is a backcountry wonder around Lake Louise, reachable by a seven-mile trek over Deception Pass or by horseback with Timberline Tours Ltd. It features the axe-hewn spruce lodge from the 1930s, operates without electricity or running water, and is known for its off-the-grid kitchen with cooks like Vanessa Stirrett preparing seasonal and restoring dishes, impressive afternoon tea, and much-anticipated feasts for dinner." - ByLindsay Anderson
