Expeditions, Treks & Hikes

Explore the awe-inspiring mountains of Northwestern British Columbia and the Yukon

These are remote and magical places, perfect for days of travel on foot and nights under the stars. We want to take you there!

The Saint Elias Mountains in the Yukon’s Kluane Park are the best-kept secret in the mountaineering world.

Mount Logan (5959 m), Mount St. Elias, Mount Steele (5073 m) and countless others are among the world’s biggest and most remote mountains.

There are no crowds here like on Denali! Join us on one of these serious climbs.

Experience the solitude of the volcanic plateaus and high-altitude deserts of Mount Edziza. Learn the secrets of the Tahltan’s ancient obsidian quarries in the tundra. The lucky ones will witness a caribou at rest on the glacier.
