Small groups\, no crowds. Just the mountains and the people beside you. \n 🚗\n Trailhead Vehicle Info\n We encourage everyone to carpool and arrive with as few vehicles as possible — the less at the trailhead\, the better. Sara will be able to take a few participants from the Visitor Centre\, so reach out ahead of time to coordinate. Snowfencing is available from the Visitor Centre for those leaving vehicles there.\n \n\n \n\nWyld Itinerary \nThree Days. Three Worlds.\n \n \n Day 01\n Friday\, July 31 \nInto the Forest\nWe meet at the Visitor Centre for check-in\, bear spray orientation\, and a shuttle to the trailhead. From there we push into old-growth subalpine forest — ferns brushing our knees\, light filtering through canopies of spruce and fir. Day one is about finding your Wyld rhythm: weight on your back\, the smell of damp moss\, elevation rising steadily around you. Camp tonight beside a rushing glacial stream. \n 📍 7 km\n ↑ +620 m\n ⏱ 3–4 hrs\n 📷 Court Jacobs @court_the_original\n \n \n Day 02\n Saturday\, August 1 \nThe Tunnel Climb\nThe centrepiece of the Wyld traverse. A sustained climb through open alpine pushes you higher until the mountain reveals its secret: a natural tunnel worn through solid rock\, its arched opening framing an impossible panorama of snow-patched summits and deep green valleys below. \n “Step through the tunnel and the whole range opens up in front of you. One of those moments you don’t forget.” \nAfter the summit ridge\, descend into the next valley. Tonight’s camp sits under a sky with no light pollution for 100 kilometres in any direction. \n 📍 9 km\n ↑ +860 m\n ⏱ 6–7 hrs\n 📷 Antonio Sunción @AntonioSunción\n \n \n Day 03\n Sunday\, August 2 \nThe Trek Home\nThe final day carries you back through the heart of it all. A morning traverse of wildflower-covered ridgelines — the whole three-day route spread out behind you in one sweeping glance. Rocky meadows give way to subalpine switchbacks\, then forest\, then the shuttle back to the Visitor Centre. \nThe mountains will look the same as when you left. You won’t be.

Tumbler Ridge Adventures. \n \n \n \n BOOK NOW\n \nAug. 16\, 2026 – 9:00 AM\nBootski Lake\n  \nBootski Lake is one of those trails that earns every step. You’ll climb through forest and open alpine terrain\, gaining nearly 600 metres of elevation before the ridge breaks open and reveals a stunning high alpine lake tucked beneath dramatic cliff walls — brilliant blue\, wildly remote\, and worth every bit of effort it took to get there. \nAt nearly 1\,800 metres above sea level\, this is big sky\, big views\, and big northern BC energy. Pack your lunch\, pack your layers\, and if you’re feeling bold — pack your floatie. Summer up here is short and sweet\, and there’s no better way to celebrate the summit than with your feet (or your whole self) in that glacially cold water. \nThis is a challenging trail — approximately 11.6 km return with sustained steep sections — and one of the most rewarding day hikes in the Tumbler Ridge UNESCO Global Geopark. Our guides will get you there safely and make sure you leave knowing a whole lot more about the landscape around you. \n\n\n Trip at a glance\n \n\n\nDate: August 16\, 2026 — 8:00 AM\nLocation: Bootski Lake\, ~80 km southeast of Tumbler Ridge\, BC\nDistance: 11.6 km return\nApproximate Time: 5–7 hours\nElevation Gain: 565 m\nDifficulty: Challenging — recommended for hikers with a solid base fitness level\nAccess: Forest Service Road (high clearance recommended)\nPartner: Wolverine Nordic & Mountain Society\nCommunity Contribution: $5 from every booking is donated to the Wolverine Nordic & Mountain Society\n\n\n\n\n Included\n \n\nExperienced guide for the full day\nRoute navigation on steep and rocky alpine terrain\nA summer day exploring the Bootski Lake area\, Tumbler Ridge\, BC\nBear spray mini course\nPlant and ecosystem identification along the way\nGeology and Geopark context shared on trail\nPeak Wyld Co. sticker\nShared photo album from the day\nPre-trip communication with packing list and meeting details\nFirst aid kit\, emergency supplies\, and a satellite communication device carried by your guide\n$5 from every booking is donated to the Wolverine Nordic & Mountain Society\n\n\n\n\n Fee & Cancellation Policy\n \n\nFee & Booking \n$65.00 + GST.

Send transfers to jocelyn@peakwyldco.ca (auto-deposit enabled). \n\nCancellation Policy \nBecause outdoor adventures involve real upfront costs\, day hike bookings are non-refundable. That said\, we want to work with you — if you need to cancel 5 or more days before the trip\, we’ll issue a full credit toward a future Peak Wyld Co. adventure. \nCancellations made within 5 days of the event are not eligible for a credit. Spots are limited\, so the earlier you let us know\, the better. \nWhat if Peak Wyld Co. cancels? If we cancel due to unforeseen circumstances or an act of God\, your payment will be credited to a future date. If the Bootski Lake trip doesn’t reach the minimum number of participants\, you’ll receive a full refund. \nWe always do our best to reach our destination — but please be aware that weather\, road\, and safety conditions in the backcountry can occasionally change our plans. That’s the nature of the north\, and we appreciate your understanding. \n\n\n\n Frequently Asked Questions\n \nWho is this hike for? This hike is suited for people who are reasonably active and comfortable hiking uphill on steep\, rocky terrain. Bootski Lake is not a beginner trail — this is a challenging backcountry route with significant elevation gain. Strong beginners are welcome with the understanding that this is rugged northern terrain and you should expect to work for that view. \nIs there signage on the trail? Partially. The lower section of the trail is flagged with orange flagging tape through the burned area. Above the treeline\, route-finding skills are required — but don’t worry\, that’s what your guide is there for. \nWhat’s the road like to get there? The access road is the Ojay Main Road\, a gravel Forest Service Road south of Tumbler Ridge. High clearance is recommended. We’ll send full driving directions and road notes before the event date. Please note this is a radio-controlled industrial road — your guide will provide details on radio use and protocol. \nWhat if the weather is bad? Light rain won’t cancel us — northern BC is wet sometimes\, and that’s part of it. Above treeline\, conditions can change fast\, so come prepared with layers and rain gear regardless of the forecast. If the weather creates a genuine safety concern\, we will notify you as early as possible and work with you on rebooking or a credit. \nIs bear spray mandatory? No\, but it is strongly recommended that everyone carry their own bear spray. We will conduct a bear spray mini course at the start of the day. This is active grizzly bear country — we take wildlife safety seriously. \nAre there washroom facilities on trail? Yes — there is an outhouse at Bootski Lake. On the trail up\, we follow cathole practices. Your guide will review Leave No Trace protocols at the start of the day. \nHow long is the drive to the trailhead? The trailhead is approximately 80 km southeast of Tumbler Ridge\, with a portion on gravel forest road. Budget roughly 1.5 hours of drive time from town. We meet at 8:00 AM and make our way out together — your guide will send a full logistics email ahead of the trip. \nCan I bring my dog? Dogs are not permitted on this guided tour. The terrain is steep and remote\, and we want to keep the group moving safely through grizzly habitat. \nWhat should I eat beforehand? Eat a solid breakfast before you go — this is a long day with a lot of elevation. Bring a full trail lunch\, snacks\, and a minimum of 2 litres of water. There is no reliable water source until you reach the lake. \nCan I swim in the lake? You absolutely can — pack your floatie if you’re feeling bold. The water is glacially cold and incredibly clear. A summer dip at nearly 1\,800 metres above sea level is an experience you won’t forget. \n\n\n\n What to pack\n \nPack \n\n20–30L daypack\nRain cover for daypack (optional but recommended)\n\nFootwear & Clothing \n\nSturdy\, broken-in hiking boots with ankle support\nMoisture-wicking hiking shirt — long sleeves recommended for sun protection\nHiking shorts or pants\nWaterproof rain jacket and pants\nWarm mid-layer (fleece or puffy)\nExtra socks\, gloves\, and a toque/buff — weather changes fast up here\nGaiters (optional\, great for creek crossings)\nChange of clothes waiting for you in the car\n\nFood & Water \n\n2–3L of water (hydration bladder + water bottle recommended)\nHigh-energy snacks\nPacked lunch\n\nSun & Bug Protection \n\nSunscreen\nSunglasses\nHat\nLip balm\nBug spray\n\nSafety & Essentials \n\nHeadlamp + extra batteries\nPersonal first aid kit\nEmergency shelter (emergency blanket)\nMatches and fire starter\nMulti-tool or knife\nToilet paper\nBear spray\nTrekking poles (optional but recommended\, especially on the descent)\n\n\nYour guide will carry the group’s core survival and safety equipment — but building the habit of carrying your own essentials is one of the best things you can do as a backcountry traveller. Extra clothing is one of the Ten Essentials for a reason: be prepared to be out longer than planned and for conditions to shift. \n\n\n\n FUN FACTS ABOUT BOOTSKI LAKE\n \n🏔 It sits at nearly 1\,800 metres above sea level — that’s higher than most peaks in eastern Canada. You’re genuinely up there. \n🌊 The lake is a high alpine tarn — meaning it was formed by glacial activity\, carved out over thousands of years by ice. That brilliant blue colour? That’s the real deal. \n❄️ Snow can show up any month of the year at this elevation. July hikers have reported snowpack near the lake. Always pack your layers. \n🐻 Grizzly bears are regulars in this area. Sow grizzlies with cubs have been spotted on the trail — a good reminder that you’re a guest in their home. \n🌿 The 2006 wildfire that burned through the lower slopes actually created incredible habitat diversity. What looks like a scarred hillside is buzzing with new growth\, wildflowers\, and wildlife. \n🦕 You’re hiking inside a UNESCO Global Geopark — one of only a handful in Canada. The rock walls surrounding the lake are hundreds of millions of years old. Dinosaurs roamed this region long before we did. \n🎒 The trail is maintained entirely by volunteers from the Wolverine Nordic & Mountain Society. Every $5 donation from your booking goes directly back to keeping this trail accessible. \n📸 The ridge above the lake offers views of Mount Becker and its subpeak — one of the most dramatic vantage points in the southern Peace Region. \n🥶 That water is cold. Like\, really cold. But people swim in it anyway — and they always say it was worth it. \n\n\n\nDate: August 16\, 2026 — 8:00 AM\nLocation: Bootski Lake\, ~80 km southeast of Tumbler Ridge\, BC\nDistance: 11.6 km return\nApproximate Time: 5–7 hours\nElevation Gain: 565 m\nDifficulty: Challenging — recommended for hikers with a solid base fitness level\nAccess: Forest Service Road (high clearance recommended)\nPartner: Wolverine Nordic & Mountain Society\nCommunity Contribution: $5 from every booking is donated to the Wolverine Nordic & Mountain Society\n\n\nExperienced guide for the full day\nRoute navigation on steep and rocky alpine terrain\nA summer day exploring the Bootski Lake area\, Tumbler Ridge\, BC\nBear spray mini course\nPlant and ecosystem identification along the way\nGeology and Geopark context shared on trail\nPeak Wyld Co. sticker\nShared photo album from the day\nPre-trip communication with packing list and meeting details\nFirst aid kit\, emergency supplies\, and a satellite communication device carried by your guide\n$5 from every booking is donated to the Wolverine Nordic & Mountain Society\n\n\nFee & Booking \n$65.00 + GST.

Send us a DM to get registered — we’ll collect a few details for our booking system and get you set up. Send transfers to jocelyn@peakwyldco.ca (auto-deposit enabled). \n\nCancellation Policy \nBecause outdoor adventures involve real upfront costs\, day hike bookings are non-refundable. That said\, we want to work with you — if you need to cancel 5 or more days before the trip\, we’ll issue a full credit toward a future Peak Wyld Co. adventure. \nCancellations made within 5 days of the event are not eligible for a credit. Spots are limited\, so the earlier you let us know\, the better. \nWhat if Peak Wyld Co. cancels? If we cancel due to unforeseen circumstances or an act of God\, your payment will be credited to a future date. If the Bootski Lake trip doesn’t reach the minimum number of participants\, you’ll receive a full refund. \nWe always do our best to reach our destination — but please be aware that weather\, road\, and safety conditions in the backcountry can occasionally change our plans. That’s the nature of the north\, and we appreciate your understanding. \nWho is this hike for? This hike is suited for people who are reasonably active and comfortable hiking uphill on steep\, rocky terrain. Bootski Lake is not a beginner trail — this is a challenging backcountry route with significant elevation gain. Strong beginners are welcome with the understanding that this is rugged northern terrain and you should expect to work for that view. \nIs there signage on the trail? Partially.

A 2L hydration bladder and a 1L water bottle will be sufficient for your needs. However\, be aware that river levels can rise and cause discoloration from runoff. It’s always wise to carry a water filter when venturing into the backcountry. \nWhere do we meet?We’ll gather at the Fort Nelson Visitor Centre at 9:30 AM on August 22\, 2025. \nAre campfires allowed every night?This depends on the current wildfire situation. It’s important to check for any fire bans before your trip. In some areas along the trail\, campfires may not be permitted regardless of the fire ban status. \nIs alcohol permitted?Yes\, you’re welcome to bring your own alcohol\, but it will not be provided. \nWhat are the bathroom arrangements?You’ll need to dig catholes for bathroom use\, ensuring they are at least 200 feet (60 meters) away from water sources\, trails\, or campsites. We recommend using the buddy system when venturing away from camp and carrying bear spray. As a fun rule\, if you go to the bathroom\, bring back a stick for the campfire. There is an outhouse available at Wokkpash Lake. \nHow many guides will accompany us?An experienced guide will be with the group to offer support and expertise. They will carry an In-Reach Satellite communication device for two-way messaging and emergency contact with helicopter support if necessary. A local helicopter service will be informed of our location throughout the trip. \nWill you provide a detailed itinerary?Yes\, we will send a detailed day-to-day itinerary. However\, please note that river levels and weather conditions can affect our plans. Flooding can sometimes make certain river crossings impassable\, so flexibility is key. \nWhat about bears and wildlife?We prioritize bear safety by travelling in groups. Expect to encounter both small and large wildlife on the trail. Previous trips have noted porcupines and marmots as challenges\, so please keep your supplies in dry bags. Food storage can be tricky\, but we do our best to keep it bear-safe. Guides will carry a firearm for added safety\, and bear-proof dry bags are available for rent. \nAre dogs allowed?No\, dogs are not permitted on this trip\, except for the guides’ dogs. \nIs there cell service on the trail?There is no cell service while hiking. If you have a satellite communication device\, we recommend bringing it along. \nShould we tip the guides?The success of our trips hinges on our wonderful staff. If you receive excellent service\, we encourage you to tip the guides. There’s no set amount—just whatever you feel is appropriate. Tipping is a great way to show appreciation for their hard work and dedication. \nCommunication during the tripPeak Wyld Co utilizes satellite email systems for emergencies\, specifically Inreach Garmin devices. \nLiability InsurancePeak Wyld Co holds liability insurance as mandated by the conditions of the Park Use Permit. Peak Wyld Co is not liable for any damage or complications that may occur with your vehicle during the trip. \n\n\n\n Rentals Available\n \nLIGHTWEIGHT TENT (2 Person) – $50   \nJETBOIL + 1 Canister – $50  \n1 CANISTER OF FUEL – $10 \nHIKING POLES – $20 \nBACKPACKING CHAIR – $50 \nBEARSPRAY – $25 \nIf travelling by plane to Fort Nelson/Fort St. John\, you will need to rent a fuel canister and bear spray\, as these items can’t be put on a plane.  \n\n\n\n Fee and Refund Policy\n \nFEE & REFUND POLICY \nFee: $650 + Taxes \nTo reserve your spot\, we kindly ask for a non-refundable deposit of $250. This deposit helps secure your place\, and while it is non-refundable\, we greatly appreciate your commitment to joining us. \nYou have until August 1\, 2026\, to complete your full payment. Flexible payment plans are available for the remaining balance. If the balance is not received by this date\, we may need to cancel your reservation\, but our team is here to assist you with any questions you may have. \nFor bookings made after August 1\, 2026\, full payment will be required at the time of booking. We understand that plans can change\, so please note that cancellations made after August 15\, 2026\, at 12:00 PM will be non-refundable. \nPayment Options \nReady to secure your spot? Just click “BOOK NOW” at the top of the page! \nWe also accept email transfers at jocelyn@peakwyldco.ca. However\, reservations will need to be made via email\, and we will handle the online booking for you. Additionally\, we offer flexible payment plans to accommodate your needs. \nWhat if the trip is cancelled? \nIn the unlikely event of a cancellation due to an ‘act of God\,’ your payment will be credited towards a future date. \nIf you have any further questions about payment or cancellations\, feel free to reach out to us. We’re here to help! \n\n\n\n Where do we meet and drive to?\n \nWe’ll be meeting in Fort Nelson at 9:30 AM. If you need to coordinate carpooling from Fort St. John\, we can organize that as the date approaches. After our meet-and-greet at the Visitor Centre in Fort Nelson\, we’ll drive to the trailhead\, which is approximately 1.5 hours away. We’ll park our vehicles at the trailhead. The trailhead is big enough for all our vehicles.  \n\n\n\n Transportation and Hotels to Fort Nelson\, BC\n \nParticipants are responsible for their travel costs to reach the trailhead. Peak Wyld Co will not provide transportation to the trailhead\, but to help reduce congestion at the parking area\, we will assist in organizing carpooling during our backpack preparation night (Zoom meeting). If you choose to carpool\, we recommend splitting gas costs\, approximately $100. \nFor those flying to the location\, here are a couple of options: \n\nCentral Mountain Air provides air service to Fort Nelson. The most economical route is to fly from Vancouver to Prince George with a major carrier like Air Canada or WestJet\, then take a Central Mountain Air flight from Prince George to Fort Nelson.\n\n\nAlternatively\, you can fly to Fort St. John and arrange ground transportation with Peak Wyld Co from there. Please reach out to us if you would like to discuss this option further.\n\nHOTELS IN FORT NELSON \n\nSuper 8\nWoodlands Inn\nLakeview Inn & Suites\n\n\n\n4-Day Guided Backpacking Tour: Experience the beauty of Stone Mountain Provincial Park with expert guidance.\nBase Camp Setup: Enjoy two guided day hikes from our established camp.\n3 Nights Under the Stars: Sleep peacefully in the great outdoors.\nMountain-Side Experience: Immerse yourself in the stunning mountain landscape for four days.\nBear Safety Training: Participate in a mini course on bear spray usage.\nPlant Identification: Learn to identify local flora along the trail.\nRiver and Creek Crossings: Gain practical experience navigating water crossings.\nExciting Prizes: Earn rewards throughout the trip.\nPeak Wyld Co Merchandise: Receive exclusive swag to commemorate your adventure.\nKnot Tying and Survival Skills: Acquire essential skills for the backcountry.\nSafety Equipment: Guide will carry a first aid kit\, emergency supplies\, and a communication device for added safety.\nCommunity Contribution: $5 from each booking will be donated to the Northern Rockies Trails Society.\nShared Photo Album: Capture and share your memories with fellow adventurers.\nPre-Trip Zoom Meeting: Join us for a session to check your gear\, address questions\, discuss safety\, and organize carpooling if needed.\n\nHeart of the McDonald Trip Itinerary\n\nDay 1: August 21Location: Fort Nelson \n\n9:30 AM: Meet at the Visitor Centre in Fort Nelson.\nCarpool Coordination: If needed\, organize carpooling from Fort St. John as the date approaches.\n10:00 AM: Depart for the trailhead.\nDuration: Approximately 1.5 hours drive to the trailhead.\nParking: Arrive at the trailhead\, where there is ample parking for all vehicles.\nAfternoon: Set up camp and enjoy some leisure time.

In some areas along the trail\, campfires may not be permitted regardless of the fire ban status. \nIs alcohol permitted?Yes\, you’re welcome to bring your own alcohol\, but it will not be provided. \nWhat are the bathroom arrangements?You’ll need to dig catholes for bathroom use\, ensuring they are at least 200 feet (60 meters) away from water sources\, trails\, or campsites. We recommend using the buddy system when venturing away from camp and carrying bear spray. As a fun rule\, if you go to the bathroom\, bring back a stick for the campfire. There is an outhouse available at Wokkpash Lake. \nHow many guides will accompany us?An experienced guide will be with the group to offer support and expertise. They will carry an In-Reach Satellite communication device for two-way messaging and emergency contact with helicopter support if necessary. A local helicopter service will be informed of our location throughout the trip. \nWill you provide a detailed itinerary?Yes\, we will send a detailed day-to-day itinerary. However\, please note that river levels and weather conditions can affect our plans. Flooding can sometimes make certain river crossings impassable\, so flexibility is key. \nWhat about bears and wildlife?We prioritize bear safety by travelling in groups. Expect to encounter both small and large wildlife on the trail. Previous trips have noted porcupines and marmots as challenges\, so please keep your supplies in dry bags. Food storage can be tricky\, but we do our best to keep it bear-safe. Guides will carry a firearm for added safety\, and bear-proof dry bags are available for rent. \nAre dogs allowed?No\, dogs are not permitted on this trip\, except for the guides’ dogs. \nIs there cell service on the trail?There is no cell service while hiking. If you have a satellite communication device\, we recommend bringing it along. \nShould we tip the guides?The success of our trips hinges on our wonderful staff. If you receive excellent service\, we encourage you to tip the guides. There’s no set amount—just whatever you feel is appropriate. Tipping is a great way to show appreciation for their hard work and dedication. \nCommunication during the tripPeak Wyld Co utilizes satellite email systems for emergencies\, specifically Inreach Garmin devices. \nLiability InsurancePeak Wyld Co holds liability insurance as mandated by the conditions of the Park Use Permit. Peak Wyld Co is not liable for any damage or complications that may occur with your vehicle during the trip. \nLIGHTWEIGHT TENT (2 Person) – $50   \nJETBOIL + 1 Canister – $50  \n1 CANISTER OF FUEL – $10 \nHIKING POLES – $20 \nBACKPACKING CHAIR – $50 \nBEARSPRAY – $25 \nIf travelling by plane to Fort Nelson/Fort St. John\, you will need to rent a fuel canister and bear spray\, as these items can’t be put on a plane.  \nFEE & REFUND POLICY \nFee: $650 + Taxes \nTo reserve your spot\, we kindly ask for a non-refundable deposit of $250.

We’re here to help! \nWe’ll be meeting in Fort Nelson at 9:30 AM. If you need to coordinate carpooling from Fort St. John\, we can organize that as the date approaches. After our meet-and-greet at the Visitor Centre in Fort Nelson\, we’ll drive to the trailhead\, which is approximately 1.5 hours away. We’ll park our vehicles at the trailhead. The trailhead is big enough for all our vehicles.  \nParticipants are responsible for their travel costs to reach the trailhead. Peak Wyld Co will not provide transportation to the trailhead\, but to help reduce congestion at the parking area\, we will assist in organizing carpooling during our backpack preparation night (Zoom meeting). If you choose to carpool\, we recommend splitting gas costs\, approximately $100. \nFor those flying to the location\, here are a couple of options: \n\nCentral Mountain Air provides air service to Fort Nelson. The most economical route is to fly from Vancouver to Prince George with a major carrier like Air Canada or WestJet\, then take a Central Mountain Air flight from Prince George to Fort Nelson.\n\n\nAlternatively\, you can fly to Fort St. John and arrange ground transportation with Peak Wyld Co from there. Please reach out to us if you would like to discuss this option further.\n\nHOTELS IN FORT NELSON \n\nSuper 8\nWoodlands Inn\nLakeview Inn & Suites\n\n \n WHAT DO I PACK?
