Exploring One of Earth’s Rarest Rainforests

The ultimate wildlife jackpot? A grizzly bear standing knee-deep in the river, scanning for fish. But nature plays by its own rules, and while we always hope for those unforgettable encounters, nothing is ever guaranteed. Some days, the bears are elsewhere, the moose are tucked deep into the forest, and the eagles soar just out of sight. But even on those days, the sheer awe and wonder of the landscape itself is more than enough. Towering glaciers, the quiet serenity of an ancient rainforest—it’s a world away from the noise of everyday life.

And let’s talk about this rainforest. Snow-capped mountains quilted in one of the planet’s only inland temperate rainforests. Unlike coastal rainforests, this one exists hundreds of kilometers from any ocean. It’s a rare gem, and one of the most abundant bear habitats. Why? Because it’s a bear’s all-you-can-eat buffet! Lush greenery, wild mushrooms, protein-packed insects, and, most importantly, berries. Lots and lots of berries.

But beyond the wildlife and breathtaking scenery, there’s something else that makes this experience special—the people you meet along the way. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or in a group, these journeys have a way of bringing strangers together. Sharing stories over the sound of lapping water, laughing at playful cubs and their mama, observing a moose’s awkward movements, or collectively holding your breath as a bald eagle soars overhead—it’s these moments of connection that make the adventure even more unforgettable.

So, whether we catch a black bear nibbling on salmonberries, glide in wonder under a towering glacier, make new friends or simply soak up the breathtaking beauty of untouched wilderness, one thing is for sure- this place is pure magic!
