The First Canyon of the Nahanni River is renowned for its dramatic karst features, which are the result of centuries of erosion and dissolution of limestone by water.

Karst landscapes typically include striking formations like vertical cliffs, deep caves, sinkholes, and underground streams. In the Nahanni River’s first canyon, the limestone walls rise sharply, often appearing sheer and jagged, showcasing the intricate patterns left by the water over millennia.

More than 250 caves have been documented in this area, some of which contain passages that stretch for several kilometres!

This photo was taken from the start of First Canyon, on a hike below some of the most striking caves in the canyon, looking upriver towards Deadman Valley.

Our Taseko- Chilko- Chilcotin journeys bring us through the traditional territories of the Tŝilhqot’in Nation from the Nemiah Valley to the Fraser River Valley.

The name Tŝilhqot’in has multiple meanings, including “people of the river” or “people of the blue water.

This 8 day expedition is a classic, known for its quality whitewater and towering hoodoos, striking a balance between exciting rapids and inspiring landscapes.

When your guide asks, “would you like to sit in the front or back of the raft?”, what do reply?!

Regardless of where you are in the boat, folks unanimously agree that it’s hard to wipe the smile from your face while rafting through the second canyon of the Tatshenshini River! 💦🌊

Flowing downriver on the Firth is a truly remarkable experience! The crystal-clear waters allow you to marvel at the river’s vibrant cobble substrate and to spot Arctic Char and Arctic Grayling swimming alongside the rafts.

There’s nothing quite like paddling a canoe through The Gate on the Nahanni River! Towering cliffs cradle, (often dramatic), skies and we often hear guests making reference to feeling as though they’ve stepped into Tolkien’s Middle-earth.

Glacial whispers dance over snow covered peaks, carrying the portent of winter.

Aurora gingerly tip toe their way back into the skies, swans and swallows gather to begin their exodus southward.

August on the river is a special time. It is a crossroads between the summer heat and autumnal calm.

Picture yourself waking up to a dusting of frost on your tent canvas, basking in the midday warmth on the water, then soaking up a display of Northern Lights by the evening. This is the magic of fall in the North.

Souga Sinla to all the youth and community members of Tu Łidlini (Ross River) who came out to spend time on the water, learning together and building their paddling skills. This camp took place on Kaska Dena territory, organized by community leader Fran Etzel and NRA/CRE guide Natalie Sands, in partnership with Dechinta Centre for Learning and Canadian River Expeditions.

Tu Łidlini means “where the river meets and the people gather.”
