The group will meet in Stony Rapids. After the float plane ride to the mouth of the William River you'll paddle up the river to the middle of the largest sand dunes. The group will spend several days hiking and exploring the dunes. Then you'll float back down the river to shores of Lake Athabasca to await the float plane to take you back to Stony Rapids. Because this area is so unique and so fragile, the Saskatchewan Government preserved it as a Wilderness Park. On the wilderness trip you'll get to hike and canoe through an area unique to North America. You'll get to stand on top of the biggest sand dunes on the continent. You'll see plants that only grow here and you'll understand why the Athabasca Sand Dunes Wilderness Area is being protected.
