If you can dream it, we can build a trip to fit!
Opportunities for adventure here are only limited by your imagination! We can customize your trip to include anything from helicopter assisted glacier dog sledding to private deep sea fishing trips! The ocean activities begin on our private beach that catches the afternoon sun, featuring booming sea caves, colorful tide pools, and a small salmon stream. Explore the rugged coast line by kayaking or paddle boarding with GPML's large top of the line fleet of kayaks, boards, and paddle gear. Bring your poles and try your hand at beach fishing for all the salmon varieties, wander up the stream to the waterfalls, or enjoy a bonfire and roast some marshmallows while watching the sunset. Feel like stretching your legs? Set your sights above the lodge for some world class hiking, wildlife viewings, mountaineering, and back country skiing. Explore hidden ponds and caves on your journey up through lush hemlock forest and climb unexplored ridges and peaks above gorgeous alpine bowls and streams for truly elemental views. The mountains go on forever from here... What are you capable of?

Construction
The lodge and cabins were incredibly difficult to build and has been an ongoing engineering feat. Being in a remote location and on top of a cliff plus the steepness of the terrain presented numerous building challenges that had to be overcome. Everything has had to be handcrafted in stages with a clear vision of the total finished project and an understanding of how this would fit into the flow of the land. Once that plan had been established, the work began with building stairs up to the top of the cliff and clearing land for the lodge. Six years of the most intense dedicated hard work has followed. Hundreds of thousands of pounds of lumber and building materials have been brought out to the property on several different boats; everything from tiny open skiffs in the raging winter to sturdy landing crafts and fishing boats in the salty summer. Over 100 helicopter loads have been long lined in from town, lifted off the beach and pulled from boats, and yet 90% of the materials have been painstakingly hand packed up the cliffside one load at a time. This project has been a labor of love to say the least and I know you will feel it when you wander these trails.
