ABOUT THIS REGION  BACKPACKING

Backpacking into the Chilcotin Mountains

Backpack into the remote Chilcotin Mountains. The Southern Chilcotins have been identified as the most important unprotected area of wilderness in southern British Columbia. It has been carved by glaciers, shaped by time and decorated by nature. A magnificent mixture of valleys, flowered meadows, alpine terrain, and abundant wildlife, coupled with a low level of visitors, make this appealing to those looking for solitude and remoteness. Your route and itinerary have been designed to fully appreciate the diversity of the region. We have added a layover day in an alpine setting to enjoy the incredible scenery and to further explore surrounding peaks.

Backpacking into the Chilcotin Mountains

The Southern Chilcotins have been dubbed "Wildflower Heaven" for good reason. Alpine meadows present a tapestry of colours representing a variety of flower families. If you are a bee, or was one in another life, or just enjoy the smell and look of a flower garden gone crazy, then the Chilcotins is the adventure for you. Indeed, the Southern Chilcotins are British Columbia's best kept secret.
