We were so lucky to have enjoyed a fun-filled snowy morning with our friends at Canadian Wilderness Adventures. As we wrapped up in our snow-gear, our guide Sean lined up the Snowmobiles for our tour. Safety is always a priority at Canadian Wilderness Adventures and we received a full safety briefing and lessons in braking and taking turns on the Snowmobiles – very important information!! After “snowmobile class” was over we set off on our journey through the pristine Callaghan Valley with the sounds of our laughter audible through our helmets and the roaring sound of engines! Sean was a fantastic guide and made sure we were all comfortable and feeling confident on our snowmobiles. We felt like we were flying along on the fresh snow through the wide tree-lined trail and enjoyed a stop at the lake next to the historic NorthAir Goldmine site for a snowball fight and the obligatory creation of fresh snow angels! It was a comfortable ride for beginners, relaxed enough to enjoy the scenery and really got the adrenaline flowing!
After, we strapped on snow-shoes and wandered into the trails to admire the peace and tranquility of the beautiful old-growth forest. Tree’s very much worth hugging! Sean told us about the plant life and stories of our local bears. Thankfully we didn’t disturb any Bears taking their long winter naps! Sean took us to a trapper’s cabin on a frozen lake which was very Instagram worthy, we had brilliant local photographer Emily Serrell with us to take care of that! We whole-heartedly recommend joining Canadian Wilderness Adventures for your next trip to the backcountry whether it be on a Snowmobile, Snowshoe or Dogsled tour. The Yukon Breakfast and Steak Night at their cabin on Sproatt Mountain are delicious so those are on our list for next time, we are excited to go back!
