Wells Gray Park doesn't close during the winter! If you thought the park is only open during the spring and summer -- think again.

Winters yield some of the best outdoor recreation opportunities to be found anywhere. Snowshoeing, dogsledding and cross-country skiing are only a few of the activities to be enjoyed!

Helmcken Falls Lodge offers much more than simply accommodations and fine dining at Wells Gray Park. At Helmcken Falls Lodge you can reach out and touch nature. You can hike through lush, alpine meadows; savor pure, fresh mountain air; observe wildlife in its natural habitat; and experience a number of specially designed outdoor programs -- catering to a range of interest and activity levels. The emphasis, however, is always on leisurely enjoyment.

We offer guiding and outfitting services for horseback riding, hiking, sightseeing tours, canoeing, wilderness camp trips and whitewater rafting... and that's just the summer. In winter the park becomes a winter wonderland beckoning at our doorstep. Wells Gray Provincial Park is a vast, untamed wilderness waiting to be explored by you and our friendly, experienced guides. Canoe the lakes to the foot of glaciar covered mountain peaks. Picnic on sandy shores. Fish the clean, clear waters. Stroll at your leisure to thunderous waterfalls and rivers.
