Wells Gray & Mount Robson

Connect with powerful landscapes in two spectacular BC parks

The twin wonders of Wells Gray Provincial Park and Mount Robson Provincial Park deliver back-to-back ‘wow moments’ on the final stretch of the Rainforest to Rockies journey.

The Simpcw and Tsq’escenemc First Nations have longstanding ties to these lands, including the areas now known as Wells Gray, Clearwater, and Mount Robson, where their presence, governance, stewardship and cultural knowledge remain central.

Wells Gray, near Clearwater, is home to the world’s only old-growth inland rainforest. Among its plunging peaks and alpine tarns, you’ll find 39 named waterfalls—including Helmcken Falls, one of the highest in British Columbia.

Nearby, Mount Robson Provincial Park is home to the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies (known as Yexyexéscen by the Texqakallt Nation). The village of Valemount is a year-round adventure basecamp. In summer, hike, bike, paddle, or camp beneath big mountain views. Come winter, swap your boots for a dogsledding experience or glide along cross-country ski trails.

These places hold deep meaning. Come prepared and move with care, humility, and respect for the power of nature and the land’s significance.
