Spring Black bears in Bella Coola Valley BC , Canada

Today we did an evening drift with some guides for a pre-season river run and were lucky enough to see two healthy black bears foraging on grasses in Tweedsmuir Park. Spring weather is exceptional for hiking and scenic floats on the Bella Coola River. Now it is just a matter of getting the cobwebs off the boats and hitting the rivers for the rest of the Spring low water until the big melt we expect in Late May or June, then it is full on tourist season!

Cheers,

First Bear tracks of the year!!!

Bears are out and about in Bella Coola Vally! On April 21 a guide saw fresh bear tracks and sign at a regional park while on a walk with some of our heli-ski guests. Although spring has been slow to arrive, there are lots of succulent plants and buds for the bears to feed on, so they are exploring the valley and making the best of the season, as we all are.

Coast Mountain Lodge will be starting Eco-rafting tours in May and all other trips in June this year to accommodate the early travelers. We look forward to seeing everyone and please visit www.coastmountainlodge.com to keep up to date on tourist attractions we offer.

We are looking forward to all of our regular visitors from Wild Earth Adventures, Kanata, Nature Trails and others again this year. Accommodations are ready at our lodge and we are looking forward to your visit.
