Welcome to Wells Gray and Clearwater: Your Gateway to Adventure

Explore Nature’s Playground All Year Round

Spring:

As the ice starts to melt, the region comes alive with vibrant colours and emerging wildlife. The rivers and waterfalls, including the famous Helmcken Falls, swell with the melting snow, creating spectacular displays. Spring is a photographer’s dream, capturing the transition from winter’s frozen stillness to the vibrant pulse of life. Spring is an excellent time to visit if you’re looking for budget-friendly accommodation and fewer crowds. Many local accommodations offer spring specials, and you’ll find various hiking trails accessible during this season.

Summer:

The summer months are the prime time to explore the lush forests, pristine lakes, and rushing rivers. From hiking and paddling to fishing and camping, there’s no shortage of activities for outdoor enthusiasts. Witness the stunning wildflower meadows in bloom and the wildlife in their element. Summer is the peak season, so plan and book in advance. While prices may be slightly higher during this time (although far less than well known resort towns), the wealth of experiences and warm weather make it worth the investment.

Autumn:

Autumn brings a breathtaking transformation as the landscape turns to brilliant shades of orange and gold. Hiking during this time is especially rewarding, with the crisp air and stunning vistas providing an unparalleled sense of serenity. Fall is considered a shoulder season, which means fewer crowds and more affordable accommodations. It’s still an excellent time for travelers who prefer quieter experiences and that last call for warm days. 

Winter:

When the winter snow blankets the region, Wells Gray and Clearwater transform into a magical wonderland. Imagine gliding through untouched powder on skis or snowshoes, the only sound being the soft crunch beneath your feet. Winter here is synonymous with tranquility and serenity. Winter sports enthusiasts will be delighted to find that Wells Gray offers affordable options for cross-country skiing, ice-fishing, snowmobiling, downhill skiing, and snowshoeing. Winter accommodations are far easier on the wallet when compared to many other popular winter destinations in British Columbia and cozy wilderness cabins are abundant.
