No Planning!

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."
