Located within striking distance of Mount Waddington, British Columbia’s highest peak (13,186 ft · 4,019 m), this remote location offers access to some of the richest wilderness grounds in the world. Pantheon Heli Ranch is located on Bluff Lake near Tatla Lake in Cariboo Chilcotin Region of British Columbia, Canada. Undiscovered until 1925, the area is heavily glaciated, with thick forests and deep valleys guarding the mountain flanks. To this day the area is extremely wild and inaccessible unless you have a trusty helicopter that is!

With a maximum capacity of 9 guests per week, this is the perfect place to escape to with your closest group of friends. Guests fly as 1 private group of 9 guests + 2 guides in a Bell 212 and have the entire facility and mountain range all to themselves.
