Reputation
You will be coming with a company that has been running outdoor adventure trips for over 20 years. Hut-to-Hut British Columbia will be happy to provide the names of previous guests from your area so you can talk to them about their trips.

Fair Prices
You will be getting the most fairly priced outdoor product that you will find in Canada. The prices include all of your great meals and snacks, knowledgeable guides, equipment on the canoe trip, chalet accommodations on your hiking trip, and transportation to and from Clearwater. A better value than this is very difficult to find.

No Planning!
To get the sort of wilderness experience you will have here would take weeks of planning to do on your own. Give yourself a well-deserved break and enjoy a sunset in the mountains without having to worry about what is for supper.

Ecologically Sensitive Access
The hut-to-hut system is run to minimize any impact your visit might have in these wild places. All of the waste, water, energy and impact is carefully managed to the highest standard. Wells Gray Adventures thinks that you will agree that after 12 years of operation, the terrain around the hut system is still wild and untouched.

Great Guides
Your guides are highly qualified professionals, each with many years of experience as wilderness guides. Not only are they excellent leaders, they are also good cooks, competent naturalists, and fun to be with.

Wells Gray Park
This park is a one of the best-kept secrets in Canada. It will amaze you with its wild beauty and diversity. The fact that this park encompasses a 1.5 million acre watershed and completely protects the Clearwater River basin makes it a unique ecosystem. Wells Gray is the only hut system in a park in B.C.

Summer wildflowers
The area boasts the best alpine wildflower meadows that you will ever see.

Winter Snowpack
The Cariboo Mountain snow pack is famous throughout the world. The area's base gets above three meters every winter and sometimes to five meters. The snow tends to come in many small storm cycles which means more high quality powder added on a consistent basis.

"Our Wells Gray trip was the start of our holiday -and what a super start it was. The weather was great for the trip and we thoroughly enjoyed the varied terrain- and never stopped gawping at the fantastic scenery- parts reminded us of Scotland, Wales, the Pyrenees and the Alps- but on such a much bigger scale! We were delighted to find that the Alpine meadows had not totally finished flowering- we were particularly pleased to 'meet' the Indian Paint Brush- in all its colour variations - for the first time. We also enjoyed seeing 'different' birds from our normal range.

Ours was a very friendly group and we all seemed to 'settle in' very quickly. Much of this was, of course, due to Ken. We could not have asked for a better Guide-with so much knowledge- and experience. He is a great cook and marvelous raconteur too; his lovely manner and wonderful sense of humour was an added bonus- he made us feel that we were very special - he is very gifted as we are sure you know."
