Klinaklini River
The Klinaklini is a fresh-water thoroughfare that snakes its way through dense moose, eagle and grizzly habitat. Successfully descended for the first time in 1997 by ROAM, the Klinaklini is many different experiences wrapped into one. First, a dramatic flight over the Coast Ranges to Nimpo Lake and an enchanted evening in gorgeous lakeside cabins. Next, it’s off to the river by seaplane for your adventure indoctrination. After challenging the steep gradient of the upper Klinaklini you’ll be rewarded with an exhilarating day of heli-hiking around an impassible canyon before being transported back in time to the ice age and the scenic splendor of Silverthrone Glacier. The trip ends with sweeping views of a grizzly bear sanctuary and boat trip down a 60-mile fjord to the Pacific. Your last night is at Farewell Harbour Resort where we will soak in the seaside hot tub, fine dine, fish or kayak and then celebrate our success before catching flights back to Vancouver the next morning. This wilderness expedition fits into a week, but your memories will last you a lifetime.
