This tour was recently awarded a “Canadian Signature Experience” by The Canadian Tourist Association as one of the best tours offered in the region. Search for gold on the historic Li-lik-hel Mine Expedition. Ride on trails that were originally cut by the miners and have been pounded in by years of horses transporting the gold ore to the rail-head in the early 1900’s. Spend three days and two nights in BC’s spectacular Coast Mountain Range. During this time, you’ll explore the beautiful mountain range between Birkenhead Lake and the Li-lik-hel mine. Rivers, lakes, forests, alpine meadows, old mine packhorse trails and single track await your expedition. Sure-footed gentle mountain horses will carry you to each campground where our guides set up camp and cook a dinner around the campfire. Over the three days you will get to know the horse that we have picked to match your abilities and learn to appreciate their nature.

Inclusions: 2 nights accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch, Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Lunch, Dinner, Meals as per itinerary, Professional guide, Use of helmet, GST (Goods and Services Tax)

Stunning scenery, wonderful steady horses and the bonus of sighting a black bear made for a great ride. Visited May 2019 (system couldn’t load date) and can’t wait to come back and do some longer rides.

I booked a private lesson with Ride Hub last weekend and spent 4 hours learning some essential skills and techniques with Matt who was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave great tips and feedback during the lesson. The booking process was smooth and the self-assessment tool was helpful in determining my current technical and endurance level. I will definitely be booking with Ride Hub again.

Thanks Clint, Had such a great time I want to let others know about you. Your service, knowledge and eagerness for us to have an exceptional fishing trip was beyond our expectations. That 5 pound bull trout you help me catch was the icing on the cake...If I'm ever back in this neck of the woods I'll be back for sure. Michèle enjoyed it immensely also.

My boyfriend and I both fly fish and live in Squamish. We had always wanted to learn to Czech nymph, and it is well known that Clint is the person to learn from. We appreciated being taught about the history, set-up, flies, and techniques. Clint is an excellent instructor and took the time to explain, demonstrate, and coach us on the technique. The day of fishing was by far the best day I’ve had fishing in Squamish. Combined, we caught 15+ fish - bulls, cutties, and rainbows. That’s not even counting the fish we lost....including a steelhead. We enjoyed chatting and learning from Clint. He’s so knowledgeable about the river systems and conservation. We will definitely be booking another day! Highly recommend if you want an awesome day fishing in Squamish!
