Stellar Descents have really got it all worked out. We were kitted up, taken on a school bus up river to a fantastic viewpoint of Mount Robson on the Frazer river. All instructions were clear and easy to follow. We started with a warm up, then ranted through level 1, 2, , 3 and even a level 4 rapid. We even got to paddle up into the eddy at the base of a waterfall, cool, After all the rapids We jumped in for a swim/float alongside the raft . Very refreshing. Thanks To Jimmy for a great ride down the Frazer river rapids. We loved it.

We came here for the purpose of seeking help and finding information for our trip and the wildfire plus the smog. The staffs is not really willing to help us and cannot really provide information for us. Luckily there's a museum downstairs which can give me a sense of Mount Robson and Canadian History.

The Ranch is wonderful! With stylish, unique cabins there is everything you could want. The owners and staff are so friendly and helpful. Sharing their knowledge and passion for the horses, we learned much about breeds, their habits, and different personalities. The surrounding Mountains offer some of the best views in the Columbia Mountains, in a peaceful, quiet setting. At night, warm up by the fire with a warm cup of tea or coffee.
Absolutely fantastic

Today my husband and I went ATV driving through Alpine Country Rentals, in Valemont BC. They are very friendly and professional. They fit you out with all the proper accessories, overalls, helmet, glasses and gloves. I was very nervous as I had a bad experience a few years ago in Utah. Our guide Morgan was very helpful, encouraging and knowledgeable. Our actual AT Vehicle, was excellent, very good quality, sturdy and easy to use. We had perfect weather about 32 degrees for our 2 hour excursion. We went up Snow Mountain which was a dirt and dusty trail. It had a lot of rocks and some uneven rough areas. However the vehicles handled these areas well and I felt safe at all times. When we reached the top of the mountain, the views were amazing. Great views of the town, valley and Mountains. Morgan has lived in the area for 48 years so was a expert on the history and pointing out landmarks. The ride down was great fun and we were able to get a some more speed up. I would highly recommend this tour if you are in the area

This is a beautiful trail with great lookout towers (2 of them about 20min walk apart, the first one only 5min from the parking area) with 360degree views.
The new boardwalk that were build are very nice.
Just think they should do something about all the weeds growing along the trail.

Our team came to Mount Robson White Water Raft co. And had an amazing time from the get-go. The instructors and staff are extremely welcoming, professional and entertaining, not to mention full of very interesting information of the surrounding Wilderness.
The white water trip itself was breathtaking, the adrenaline filled white water action is like no other. The epic scenery on the turquoise Fraser River will be surely missed.
100% can't miss unreal time!
