We explore three vastly different landscapes: a glacier carved valley, a plateau where forest and tundra meet, and the coastal rainforest. Kluane National Park is the home of immense glaciers. Only one is easily accessible by foot. We spend two easy days backpacking up a broad valley and make our base camp at the terminal moraine of the Kaskawulsh glacier. From there we venture on day hikes and gaze upon a 100-kilometer long glacier, surrounded by peaks and untamed wilderness. Wild and protected, the area supports the highest density of Dall sheep and grizzly bears in North America.

We leave the Yukon on the little traveled Cassiar Highway to a remote area of alpine tundra. We fly into the Spatsizi Plateau. Known as BC's Serengeti for its rich wildlife and flora, Spatsizi counts the Sasquatch among its recorded species. The incredible coloration of volcanic rock lends a special character to the area as well as its name: red goat. We fly out and cut across the Coast Mountains in time to see salmon return to their spawning grounds. A great location to see grizzly and black bears.

A gravel road brings us to the Nisga'a lava fields steeped in local legends. Then we head towards the coast to embark on a day-long jetboat trip along a remote alpine river. Two very experiences local guides will accompany us through an area rich in culture and wildlife. Towering old growth cedars and firs, migrating salmon, massive waterfalls and a good chance of seeing wildlife make this an exceptional addition to the trip. On our way to Smithers we will visit the Morricetown Falls to witness the native salmon fisheries before flying back to Vancouver.
