Grizzlies of Tweedsmuir Park

Wake up early and wander down to the Wildlife Viewing Platform, which is for the exclusive use of Tweedsmuir Park Lodge guests. Early morning is a great time to spot bears and the raised structure provides an excellent vantage point. After breakfast, enjoy a scenic drift down the Atnarko River. Relax and take in the surrounding mountains whilst keeping a look out for wildlife including moose, American beaver, mountain goats, bald eagles, black and grizzly bears. The River Drift is only offered at Tweedsmuir and is one of the best ways to enjoy close viewing of bears, at their level, as they actively fish in the river. After lunch, set out on a Guided Nature Walk in the old growth forests of Tweedsmuir Park. Your naturalist guide will show you how to track bears and will point out various signs of activity, including rub trees, scat, and the hollows in the forest floor which the bears use as day beds. In the evening swap tales of the day’s sightings with your fellow guests over dinner.
