Trapper’s Grizzly Adventure 1 of 2

May 5, 2016 Lodge Guide

watching a grizzly bear fishing

Your extra day at the lodge is a tour with Trapper Rick who is cross Knight Inlet, through Thompson Sound to the Kakweikan River. This remote river is located on the BC mainland and we travel by road, cross a river by boat and a short level hike to Rick’s cabin. Just below the cabin about 200 meters (yards) on the river one is able to sit and overlook and area where the grizzly bears come to fish salmon. The first photo shows guests looking across the river….

Arrival Day 2 of 5

Your first view of the Lodge, except for the plane landing, is from the dock. The camp staff will be on dock to greet you and unload the plane. Unloading means your luggage and food coming into the camp as no plane leaves Campbell River without food if there is extra room. The first building partially hidden by the tree is the main lodge. This building has three guestrooms up stairs and one down (this is seldom used). The second building is the owner’s (Angus and Krystle ) home and over in the corner on the point is the cabin. Between the cabin and the lodge there are normally a maximum of eight guests in camp so the boat on the dock with four guests has room enough to move around for pictures and travel comfortably.
