Wells Gray Provincial Park is equal to any of the more readily visited Rocky Mountain National parks to the east. If anything, the wilderness is probably more extreme, more untamed than its larger more populated counterparts. In fact many of its peaks remain unclimbed and unnamed. Our trek takes us across high alpine passes where a roll in the snow is common, through densely forested valleys and flower filled meadows, to Myrtle Lake, where our canoe will give us access to some deep interior treks. To cool down from high altitude adventure, Clearwater Rafting (grade 4 river) caps it all off!
