Riding, hiking and canoeing tour into Spatsizi
|
|
Enjoy hiking, horseback riding, canoeing, fishing and wildlife watching on this multi-activity trip into Spatsizi Wilderness Park. Nestled in the northface of the Eaglenest Mountains is Cold Fish Lake. At the north end of the lake is Bug Lake, your base camp for the duration of the trip. This is the gateway to the spectacular Eaglenest Range, home of Osborne caribou, Stone sheep, mountain goat, moose, grizzly, wolf, and wolverine. In the heart of the Eaglenest mountains stay in our cozy log cabins, and enjoy the comforts of our showerhouse and hearty home-cooked meals. Depart daily on horseback into the spectacular Eaglenest Range. Explore rugged valleys and observe wildlife in their undisturbed natural habitat. Hike in alpine meadows, brilliantly colored with wild flowers. Or spend a day fishing for Rainbow Trout, Bull Trout or Arctic Grayling. Each night return to our comfortable base camp. If desired, you have an option to spend several nights in the mountains. This expedition is designed for people who enjoy riding but do not want to camp out for a whole week. These trips offer plenty of time to relax, hike, photograph wildflowers and wildlife.
