 "If you
are inclined towards experiencing pristine
wilderness, you will be hard-pressed to beat a few days at the Grizzly
Bear Ranch in British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains. Or if,
like me, you
are an urban beast whose love affair with the wild is limited to
watching David Attenborough, then you should try it, for it is quite an
eye-opener." To

Our
spring season is the best time to see bears that have just emerged
from denning. We concentrate on black bear-viewing but also sometimes see
grizzlies.
We take our guests on trips in our 4x4s
and on foot to places the animals favour.
| "What
can I say? Thank you all for the fantastic time and the hospitality.
Bears, wolves, beaver and many more. Just wish we didn't have to leave
quite so soon." John & Joy Osborne, Sale, Cheshire, UK. |
 We also
plan a few hours on
one of our local lakes in our Zodiac boat.
This is a great time to enjoy the silent
remoteness of the country where we live.
We like to combine boating with a walk
through a
remarkable old-growth
cedar rainforest where some of the trees are more than 1,000 years old.
| "Fantastic,
awesome time, enjoyed meeting such interesting people! Lots
of stories, laughs and bearspotting! Kristin - amazing food! Thank you
for sharing your beautiful spot in the world with us for a few days." Barry & Sandie Dodds,
Wanaka, New
Zealand. |
Bears, wolves,
rare birds and
wildflowers
 Apart
from bears you may see moose, mule deer, white-tailed
deer, bald eagles,
coyotes,
elk, porcupine, beaver, otter and, very occasionally, grey
wolves.
Your experience will be totally natural and unique and with that comes
an element of unpredictability.
Guests in the spring typically enjoy
between four or five and about 20 bear sightings.
 Spring
is also the season that our wildflowers emerge. Indian paintbrush and
wild lupins line the
sides of the tracks that we take you on.
You will probably also see dozens of
hummingbirds who
return to our ranch after wintering in central America.
These tiny, remarkable birds make great viewing.
| "The wonderful
hospitality, a shared
table, but our own space to retire to! We have loved the glimpses, some
of them extended, of your amazing wildlife, your forests and
snow-capped mountains. Thank you for sharing the charm of your
wilderness lifestyle." D'Arcy
& Jan Robinson, Inverell, Australia. |
Wake up to the sounds of our beautiful river
 A
typical day would see you waking up in your own cabin by the river.
Kristin,
who spent several years cooking on the diplomatic circuit, serves breakfast with hot tea and coffee.
Your guide will then take you out on the first of several bear-viewing tours in the surrounding forests and mountains.
 Depending
on the day, we may take you up forgotten tracks to places where the
bears like to feed after their long winter hibernation.
On other days we will take our Zodiac out onto one of our remote lakes.
Each day you will travel with one of our three trained, experienced and
certified bear guides.
 Lunch
is a picnic of
home-made sandwiches and fruit. Our
tours typically end about 5.00pm.
We serve dinner, a sit-down affair with fine freshly-cooked local food
and the best of British
Columbia's beer and wine, at around 7.00pm in the main house.
