4-6 | TWEEDSMUIR PARK LODGE, BC
Nestled in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, Tweedsmuir Park Lodge offers one of the most remarkable grizzly bear viewing experiences in North America. This vast, untamed wilderness is home to an abundance of wildlife, but the true highlight is the annual salmon run, which draws grizzlies to the rivers in late summer and fall. From the lodge’s private wildlife viewing platforms to expertly guided excursions, you’ll have unparalleled opportunities to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, with each encounter offering a rare and humbling glimpse into the life of the grizzly.
LAND OPTIONS
Land-based adventure options are plentiful at Tweedsmuir Park Lodge. A grizzly bear ecology walking tour takes you deep into bear country, where you may observe tracks, feeding sites, and—if conditions align—bears themselves. For breathtaking vistas, embark on a hike through the spectacular Rainbow Range. Alternatively, tackle the thrilling Via Ferrata, a guided climbing experience that combines metal rungs, suspension bridges, and cables to ascend a dramatic rock face, offering spectacular aerial views of the Bella Coola Valley.
MARINE OPTIONS
Gliding quietly through the misty waters of the Atnarko River, you’ll have the chance to observe bears in their natural habitat, and depending on the season, watch them catching salmon with swift, calculated movements. This gentle drift allows for close yet respectful encounters, with guides ensuring safety and minimal disturbance to the wildlife. If you prefer a hands-on experience, try an introduction to river fishing, where you’ll cast for trout or salmon in crystal-clear waters, surrounded by towering cedars and snow-capped peaks.
