Canadian
River Expeditions'
new mellow wilderness float trip
The gentle, 10-day float trip through northeastern British Columbia,
one of the world's last great wilderness frontiers, follows the
remote Gataga and Kechika rivers through game-rich, untouched valleys
that sweep up to the jagged peaks of the Northern Rockies.
Along the way, hikers will find opportunities for backcountry treks
(easy to strenuous), fishing for Arctic grayling, char, and northern
pike. Birdwatchers can expect to find rare species of waterfowl,
game birds, eagles, hawks and songbirds. Trips begin and end at
Fort Nelson, and include a floatplane shuttle to the alpine for
three days of hiking and a helicopter lift to the river for a seven-day
float trip. Cost for the complete package is US$2600 per person.
Canadian River Expeditions is known for outdoor and natural history
adventures in northern and western Canada since 1972.
