Nature Activity Tour #01 Northern Rockies
|
Experience the most beautiful and remote area in northern Canada. The Northern Rocky Mountains are rich with wildlife. Skim over mountaintops, valleys, lakes and rivers with your bushpilot. Observe moose, elk, stone sheep, mountain goat, caribou, black bear and grizzly bear in their natural habitat. Together with your bushpilot stroll along sandy beaches on remote lakes, enjoy shore lunch and the breathtaking mountain scenery. Each night you return back to the comfort of our Lodge. During your week long stay at the Lodge your bushpilot takes you to the following scenic highlights:
Tuchodi Lakes
Located in a mountain valley 80 miles southeast of Muncho Lake in the heart of the Muskwa/Kechika Provincial Park. During this flight we cross over the ice capped mountain peaks and remote valleys of the northern Rocky Mountains. The blue-green waters and sandy beaches of the Tuchodi Lakes invite you to spend hours exploring the shore.
Virginia Falls
Nahanni National Park, a world heritage site. Today our flight takes us over the southeastern Yukon into the Northwest Territories. We touch down on the South Nahanni River above Virginia Falls which are twice the height of Niagara Falls. Take advantage of the hiking trails to observe the awesome falls from various viewpoints. The return flight follows the South Nahanni River with 3000 ft sheer canyon walls to the legendary Headless Valley.
Wokkpash Provincial Park and Hoodoos
We spend a day together discovering the unique gorge of the Wokkpash canyon where hundreds of "Hoodoos" (erosion pillars) line the outlet of the lake.
Spend a day visiting the best moose viewing areas in Northern BC. Moose are plentiful on Netson Lake, Pike Lake, Moose Lake and in the Kechika and Gataga Valleys. Try your luck catching fish for shore lunch while your bushpilot collects driftwood to build a roaring fire. In the afternoon take pictures of those majestic animals from a boat or canoe.
Explore the eco-system in the Muncho Lake valley, famous for its many outwashes (Alluvial Fans) which offer endless hiking opportunities. Visits to the Trout River Mineral Licks, Liard River Hotsprings and Smith River Falls complete your weeklong safari. Book your safari for August or September and enjoy the magnificent fall colours as well as the Northern Lights.
Our Lodge, a 14,000 square foot long structure, features a 45-foot high stone fireplace in a vaulted ceiling dining room. Our Chefs pride themselves in European and American cuisine. In addition to the 21 hotel rooms in our main lodge we also offer accommodations in the original log cabins and new lakeshore chalets. All units feature thermostatically controlled heat, showers and private washrooms. |
