The recreational mecca of the Bridge River Valley is an outdoor adventurer’s dream. Located in the rain shadow of the Coast Mountains, here you’ll find a drier climate than coastal communities, perfect for exploring local trails, paddling serene lakes, and taking in scenery including ancient, glacier-hewn icefields, grassland meadows, and stoic plateaus. Whether arriving via Whistler or through Cache Creek to Lytton, the drive is half the draw of heading to the Bridge River Valley. Following the pathways created by Indigenous settlers, traders and prospectors, discover exceptional opportunities to explore – in whichever manner you prefer.
Sightseeing opportunities in the Bridge River Valley become even more expansive with a flightseeing tour, offering a unique aerial perspective. Local operator Tyax Adventures takes you up by floatplane to circle the local mountains and valleys, landing on picturesque remote lakes surrounded by glacial icebergs. You’ll have the chance to deplane and explore terrain rarely visited by humans. It’s a bucket-list adventure and a fantastic way to escape it all!
Former trading trails once traversed by packhorses and donkeys through the Bridge River Valley are now open to adventurers seeking day trips and multi-day rides into the backcountry. Local outfitters like Chilcotin Holidays offer wilderness trail rides, hut-based horse pack trips, and guest ranch experiences.
Among some of the world’s most breathtaking mountain ranges, the Bridge River Valley hiking trails offer challenging treks for the adventurous and gentler routes through flower-filled meadows and serene lakesides for those seeking a more relaxed experience. Backcountry hiking trips are a favoured pursuit for those keen on multi-day adventures. Options include one-way excursions with floatplane drops into remote wilderness areas or fully guided hut-to-hut journeys.
