Tweedsmuir Park Explorer
Experience The Wilderness In Comfort.
Our Lodge is the ideal jumping off point from which to explore Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, the largest protected area in British Columbia. The scenery is simply stunning and encompasses the Coast Mountains, pristine river valleys and the remote Chilcotin Plateau. The park guarantees a vast wilderness home to Grizzly Bears, Wolves, Mountain Goats, Moose, Cougar and many others. While it would be impossible to see all the Park has to offer, we can and will show you a wonderful corner.
Trip Highlights
- Luxury accommodation at the Historic Tweedsmuir Park Lodge in private chalets
- Hike and wander old growth forests looking for signs of wildlife
- Drift the scenic Atnarko River to fish or to simply enjoy the serene views
- Drive the rugged Tote Road exploring old homesteads and trappers' cabins
- Meet and hear storytellers, singers and drummers from the Nuxalk First Nations
Our Tweedsmuir Park Explorer trips are designed as an introduction to the area surrounding our Lodge. There is a day hiking on the valley trails, a day floating down the Atnarko River, and a day on the back roads for a more extended view of this magical country. All activities are hosted and led by qualified professionals with a wealth of local knowledge and stories. In addition to the scenery and wildlife, there is also an interesting local history. After all, Bella Coola is the terminus of Alexander Mackenzie’s historic crossing of the North American continent in 1793, a full 12 years before Lewis and Clark. Our guides will bring this history and geography to life for you.
