Summer
Exciting grizzly bear and wildlife watching in diverse wilderness mountain terrain. As summer temperatures climb the grizzlies move to higher elevations into the boreal forest and the high alpine basins and valleys in the Cariboo Mountains. Some bears stay on the rivers as they await the early summer Chinook salmon run. Explore the river ecosystems by jetboat. the later summer the bears frequent the mountain berry patches where we often share in their feast of blueberries, mountain huckleberries, raspberries, and saskatoons. Watch the bears, moose, deer, beaver, and other wildlife and birds and perhaps a wolf, or otter.

The sockeye salmon travel thousands of miles from the Gulf of Alaska down the coast of British Columbia and up the Fraser River, their highway to the interior spawning rivers of their birth. This mighty feat of nature is an amazing and wondrous sight to behold. And even more amazing is the grizzlies as they wander the river banks splashing in the river catching the scarlet hued salmon.

Most of these areas we can access and be in the alpine and be walking the peaks in under an hour. These areas offer excellent viewing and photographic opportunities as you walk along the high alpine peaks and ridges and view the mountain valleys below. Besides the iconic Grizzly Bears guests may also see moose, mountain caribou, black bear, mountain goats, wolves, mule deer, wolverine, lynx and a variety of mountain song birds, smaller animals and alpine plants and flowers.
