Bonaparte Lake, Bridge Lake, Little Fort, Clearwater, and on toward Blue River and McBride. A week across the Interior plateau where the lakes come every twenty minutes and the fishing rods in the truck stop being decorative. High, rolling, endless: this is the route for people who want distance without drama.
The log updates itself as bookings land. Dates don't fit? Ask about a custom window. The season flexes for longer trips.
Day by day
Every day is a card: where you wake up, what the road does, where you sleep.
DAY 01Savona, then silence
Off the highway at Savona and up into grassland benches and lodgepole country. First camp is a lake at elevation with loons for neighbours.
DAY 02The plateau
A day of high, open country: ranch gates, sagebrush, and gravel that runs straight at the horizon. Camp where the aspens start.
DAY 03Lakes on lakes
The interior lake country at its best. Fish one, swim another, camp a third. The rods and boards are already on the truck.
DAY 04Into the timber
Climbing east through working forest toward the real mountains. The air changes and the fires burn a little longer at night.
DAY 05The high line
The route tops out in subalpine meadows that go gold in September. This is the postcard day. Camp with a view you will defend in arguments.
DAY 06Wells Gray edges
Waterfall country: short walks to big drops, and a camp within earshot of moving water.
DAY 07The slow goodbye
Down through the North Thompson to McBride with the Rockies filling the windshield. We meet you, walk the truck, and you fly home taller.
The route geek sheet
The planning detail behind the line. For the spec-curious, and for knowing exactly what you're saying yes to.
