Frequently Asked Questions
Where do we meet?
Tumbler Ridge Visitor Centre – 10:00 AM
Address: 265 Southgate St, Tumbler Ridge, BC V0C 2W0
Can I rent snowshoes?
Snowshoe rentals available. $20/day. Randy Gulick with Wild River Adventure Tours offers rentals. You will need to call him in advance at 780-830-8848. Participant is responsible for pick-up and drop off of snowshoes. Not apart of fees. Separate.
Is it beginner friendly?
No, there are some challenging parts of the trail with navigating your snowshoes/crampons. I would consider this one a harder one for winter with the road not being plowed. You should be physically fit enough to walk up and down a few hills, and walk at a comfortable pace for three kilometres. The first part of the tour is a mini skills session to get you trekking on your own in minutes!
Can your child join in on the fun?
Yes, we love having the whole family out. Minimum age limit is 11. Note this is a harder trail for most adults.
Where do we park?
There will be a little side pull out on the right to park on the road. We will try and take up as little room as possible. If you would like to carpool from TR that can be discussed at the Visitor Centre.
How did we get to location?
We will carpool in a line with the guide leading to the trailhead.
Is the tour cancelled if it is too cold?
If the temperature goes below -30 degrees celsius then we will not run the tour and we can reschedule your booking. No refunds due to act of god but can move your credit to a different trip.
What is the cancellation policy?
Refund Policy – Due to the nature of outdoor adventures and that we have many upfront costs, all day adventures are non refundable. We can issue a credit for full amount that guest can use to a future adventure with cancellations a week in advance from the date of trip. We do everything in the best of our abilities to provide an amazing experience however due to weather & safety restrictions we may, at times, not be able to reach summit or desired view with group.
What if the roads are bad?
We have the meeting at the Tumbler Ridge Visitor Centre at 10:00 AM giving us plenty of time to get there. Please, take your time on the roads. Make sure to have my number in your phone just in case if you can’t make it. 250-263-7302.
Should I tip my guide?
Tips are not expected, but are certainly appreciated. If you think your totally rad guide did an exceptional job and would like to indicate that with a tip, it will be graciously accepted with cash or e-transfer at the end of your tour.

There is plenty of places to stop and go to the bathroom. No outhouses available
