Alpine Guided Hiking

Tremendous views for sketches, photos, water colour paintings. Visit Matthew River Falls. Departing from the lodge we will head out into the back country of the Cariboo Mountains. Our destination is the spectacular Cameron Ridge Trail overlooking the protected Cariboo Mountains Park, the Mitchell River Wetlands, and the North arm of Quesnel Lake. From the ridge you can see over 30 miles on a clear day. This hike can be done with anyone with a moderate fitness level, as we get up near the top of the mountain using the 4 wheel drive pickups. We use an old mining road and stop at the sub alpine level leaving us a 5 km round trip hike. Taking our time allows us to enjoy the beauty of the mountains views and of the ice fields in the distant peaks. Expect a long day 12 hours as you will see a lot of country before getting back to town.

Or you can do a shorter adventure Hike the Yellow Hawk Trail: located at 3 kilometer on the Bowron Lake Road. Following it upwards leads you to the alpine where you over look Barkerville and the Wells area. Continuing up the Whistle Pig trail you get a great view towards the Bowron Lake Park. Round Trip for this hike is about 5 hours. Supper and a walking tour of Barkerville Historic Gold Rush town can be added on for a full day of fun. Moderate fitness level needed for this hike. Hiking boots recommended many have hiked in there running shoes. Day pack, water bottles, lunch provided,
