Tweedsmuir Park Lodge

AR Prop: Binoculars. Tweedsmuir Lodge has a couple of bear viewing platforms that get you to a safe viewing distance of the grizzlies. Add binoculars and really see their coarse hair and giant paws as they fish for salmon. Notice they only eat the heads and the eggs? They barely (or is that bearly?) notice you at this time of year; in the autumn they are tolerant of visitors – as they’re too busy stuffing themselves. River raft down the Atnarko River for total immersion in autumn colours, or soar above from a helicopter for a stunning view of the valley, mountains and glaciers. Take advantage of the mild weather to find your thrill of a lifetime!

AR Prop: Paddle Board. Peruse the secluded coves in the heart of Desolation Sound aboard the historic Pacific Yellowfin. Find your balance on the board as the world unfolds around you: jellyfish underneath, blooming like flowers, the rocky shoreline painted with Autumn’s colour palate. You might even make a whale or dolphin friend on your paddling adventure! The view will leave an impression on all your senses. Make sure to try a kayak, a mountain bike through the forest, or relax with a glass of wine on deck at sunset. Nothing virtual even comes close.
