Cross-country skiing along a creek with frozen seeps emerging from the rocks offers a unique and picturesque experience. As you glide over the snow-covered terrain, the sound of your skis gently swishing against the surface creates a peaceful atmosphere, interrupted only by the occasional rustle of the surrounding trees or the distant call of wildlife.
The creek, frozen, meanders alongside and underneath you, its icy banks glistening in the sunlight. You can see patches of dark water peeking through the ice, hinting at the flowing water beneath. The frozen seeps, formed from water trickling down the rocky outcrops, create stunning ice formations that sparkle like crystals. These natural sculptures, combining water and rock, add an artistic touch to the serene landscape.
As you cross the creek, you might catch glimpses of small icicles hanging from the rocks above, creating a beautiful contrast against the snow. The air is crisp and invigorating, filled with the scent of spruce and and fresh snow. Overall, cross-country skiing in this setting offers not just a physical workout but also a chance to connect with nature, taking in the breathtaking beauty of winter’s quiet splendor.

Backpacking Gear Demystified: What You Need & Why It Matters
2026-05-20 19:00 - 21:00 UTC | Virtual
JOIN HERE

A two-hour webinar for women who want to pack smarter, move lighter, and feel genuinely confident in the backcountry.
Date: Wed, May 20
Time: 7 – 9 PM MST
Where: Zoom · $25
“Backpacking gear isn’t about having the best or the lightest — it’s about having the right tools to feel safe, confident, and present in the backcountry.”

Why backpacking matters
There is something that shifts in you when you carry everything you need on your back and walk into the wilderness. Backpacking strips things down to what is essential — and in doing so, it has a way of reminding you what you are made of. It builds physical endurance, mental resilience, and a relationship with the natural world that day hikes simply can’t replicate.
For women especially, stepping into the backcountry with confidence is powerful. It is a space where you set the pace, make the decisions, and discover what you are capable of when the trail gets hard. Whether you are chasing alpine views, seeking solitude, or building community around a campfire — backpacking opens doors that stay open for life.
Why gear is the foundation
Gear is not just equipment — it is the difference between a trip that breaks you down and one that builds you up. The wrong shelter in a rainstorm, a sleeping pad that doesn’t insulate, boots that weren’t tested before a long approach — these things don’t just make a trip uncomfortable, they can compromise your safety and your confidence in ways that take time to recover from.
Understanding your gear — what it does, why you chose it, and how it works together as a system — gives you something no amount of expensive equipment can buy: the ability to make good decisions in the field. That knowledge travels with you on every trip, in every season, for the rest of your backpacking life.

Why a webinar like this is worth your time
Most gear advice online is overwhelming, gear-brand sponsored, or written for a general audience that doesn’t reflect your experience, your body, or where you actually hike. Two hours with a professional guide who has carried these systems through Northern BC conditions — and who can answer your actual questions in real time — is worth more than hours of scrolling through reviews and Reddit threads.
A focused, well-designed learning session like this one gives you a framework you’ll return to again and again. As your experience grows, your gear evolves — and the way you think about what goes in your pack will evolve with it. This webinar is not a one-time fix. It is a starting point for a lifetime of better trips.
What we’ll cover
Most people approach gear as a list to check off. This webinar reframes it as decision-making — because what you carry and why shapes your entire experience on the trail.
We’ll walk through the Big 4 core systems (shelter, sleep, pack, and food), the gear categories that round out a well-built kit, the most common mistakes — and how to avoid them — and how to start building a gear list based on your experience level and goals. Sara will be showing her actual gear live during the session.

Who this is for
Whether you’re brand new to backpacking or you’ve done a few trips and want to refine your kit, this webinar meets you where you are. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by gear choices — or wondered if you’re carrying too much — this is the night to tune in.
What you’ll walk away with
A simple gear checklist, a PDF of the presentation, and a clearer sense of how to evaluate every item in your pack — before your next trip and for every trip after.

She’s the kind of guide who turns a ridge walk into a full-on education — all woven into an experience that sticks with you long after your boots are off.

Teepee & Quality Falls
Teepee Falls, 35 km north of Tumbler Ridge on Hwy 52
Some places earn their silence. Teepee Falls is one of them.
A 15-metre cascade drops off an ancient sandstone lip into a boulder-strewn canyon carved over 90 million years — and the trail to get there is as beautiful as the destination. Wind through spruce and aspen forest with views of the Murray River valley opening up along the way. Watch for mountain goats navigating the black shale cliffs below — somehow, improbably, they’ve made this canyon home.
In winter, the falls freeze solid and become one of the region’s finest ice climbing destinations. Every season here has something to say.
Distance: 5 km return Elevation gain: ~80 m Difficulty: Easy

Quality Falls 6 km north of Tumbler Ridge on Hwy 52
Close to town and easy to reach, Quality Falls has a way of surprising people who think they know what a short trail can offer.
Follow Quality Creek through the forest to a seven-metre waterfall dropping over a sandstone ledge into a small, swimmable pool below. You can walk right to the water’s edge. Listen for the winter wren and the flash of an American Dipper working the creek — this trail is quietly one of the best birding spots in the Geopark.
Pack a picnic. Stay awhile.
Distance: 2 km return Elevation gain: ~40 m Difficulty: Easy–Moderate (one steep staircase near the falls)

INCLUDED
A summer day exploring Tumbler Ridge, BC.

Where the trail ends,the Wyld begins

For three days you’ll carry everything you need into one of the most spectacular corners of the Canadian Rockies — a landscape of cathedral peaks, wildflower-smothered ridgelines, and glacial streams so clear you can count every stone on the bottom.
The Wyld route threads through old-growth forest, climbs above treeline to a secret tunnel carved through solid rock by millennia of frost and water, then descends through valley meadows blazing with summer colour. Small groups, no crowds. Just the mountains and the people beside you.

Le Hudette Lakes
You don’t have to go far to feel like you’ve left everything behind. Le Hudette Lakes sits tucked into the alpine just outside Chetwynd — two stunning mountain lakes, open ridgelines, and a wilderness that most people drive right past without ever knowing it’s there. We’re changing that.
This is a route, not a groomed trail. It follows a seismic line up into the alpine, gains 340m of elevation, and rewards you with jaw-dropping views and the kind of quiet that only the backcountry can offer. Once you’re up there, the doors open — ridge walks, summit scrambles, alpine tarns, and all the wildflowers of a northern BC summer.
This guided hike is being offered in partnership with the Chetwynd Outdoor Society, the local organization behind preserving and expanding outdoor access in this incredible region. Your participation directly supports trails in the area.
We’ll handle the navigation so you can soak in every second of it.

Cancellation Policy
Because 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.
Cancellations 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.

We always do our best to reach our destination — but please be aware that weather and safety conditions in the backcountry can occasionally change our plans. That’s the nature of the north, and we appreciate your understanding.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this hike for? This hike is suited for people who are reasonably active and comfortable hiking uphill on uneven, unmarked terrain. It is not a beginner trail — this is a route through the backcountry, and some navigation experience is helpful, though our guide will lead the way. Strong beginners are welcome with the understanding that this is rugged northern terrain.
Is there signage on the trail? No. This is an unmarked route, currently flagged with orange flagging tape. Our guide knows the terrain and will lead you safely.
What’s the road like to get there? The access road is a decent dirt/gravel Forest Service Road suitable for most vehicles in normal conditions. We’ll send full driving directions and road notes before the event date.
What if the weather is bad? Light rain won’t cancel us — northern BC is wet sometimes, and that’s part of it. If the weather creates a genuine safety concern, we will notify you as early as possible and work with you on rebooking or a refund.
Is bear spray mandatory? No, but it is always recommended that everyone carry bear spray.

Why is it called Moose Lake?
Discover the Origins of Moose Lake
Moose Lake derives its name from the abundant populations of moose that inhabit the surrounding wetlands. This picturesque location is renowned for its rich biodiversity, making it a prime sanctuary for these magnificent creatures.
A Natural Habitat for Moose

The wetlands of Moose Lake provide an ideal ecosystem for moose, offering ample food sources such as aquatic plants, shrubs, and trees. The shallow lakes and ponds serve as perfect feeding grounds, allowing moose to thrive in a safe environment.

A Gathering Place

Each year, particularly in July, Moose Lake transforms into a vibrant gathering spot for moose. During this time, visitors can witness the breathtaking sight of these animals congregating to feed and socialize. The record attendance of 54 moose spotted at once is a testament to the lake’s allure and the rich resources it provides.

Conservation and Protection

Named for its prominent residents, Moose Lake is not just a destination for wildlife observation; it is also a dedicated conservation area. The absence of hunting ensures that moose can roam freely, contributing to a thriving population. This commitment to preserving their habitat allows visitors to enjoy watching these gentle giants in their natural surroundings.

An Invitation to Explore

The name Moose Lake is a reflection of the beauty and wonder that awaits visitors. Come and experience the magic of this unique ecosystem, where moose reign as the stars of the show, and nature enthusiasts can connect with wildlife like never before.

It’s also home to a vast array of wildlife, including eagles, osprey, geese, bears, elk, sheep, deer, caribou, and more moose than you can shake a stick at.

Mt. Stephenson
Mount Stephenson is not a casual stroll — and that’s exactly why it’s worth doing. This rugged, backcountry route near Chetwynd takes you through 540m of elevation gain over 7 km return, following a seismic line up into spectacular alpine terrain. At the top, you’re rewarded with a breathtaking view of an alpine lake with Mount Stephenson rising behind it — one of those views that stops you mid-step and reminds you why you go outside in the first place.
This is route travel. There’s no established trail, no signage, and no guarantee it’ll be easy. What we can guarantee: an experienced guide, a safe group, and a day in the kind of landscape that northern BC does better than anywhere.
This event is offered in partnership with the Chetwynd Outdoor Society, who have been championing outdoor access in this region for years. We’re proud to work alongside them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who is this hike for? This hike is for experienced hikers with solid cardiovascular fitness. The 540m elevation gain and 6-hour timeframe make it more demanding than an average day hike. If you’re newer to hiking, we’d recommend starting with Le Hudette Lakes (June 20) and working up to this one.
Is there a trail? No. Mount Stephenson is a backcountry route, currently marked with orange flagging tape. Our guide has experience on this terrain and will lead navigation throughout the day.
What’s the road access like? Access is via a decent dirt/gravel Forest Service Road. Driving directions and road notes will be sent to all registered participants before the event date.
What if the weather turns? We operate in northern BC — we don’t run from clouds or light rain. If weather creates a genuine safety risk, we will make that call early and communicate clearly. If Peak Wyld Co. cancels, your payment is credited toward a future date.
Is this suitable for beginners? Honestly, no. This is rugged, unmarked alpine terrain with significant elevation gain. We want everyone to have a great experience — and that means being honest that this one is for people who have spent real time in the backcountry.
Is bear spray mandatory? No, but it is always recommended that everyone carry bear spray.

River runoff may also affect clarity, so carrying a water filter is essential for backcountry safety.
Where do we meet?Participants will gather at the Fort Nelson Visitor Centre at 10:00 AM on July 17, 2026.
Are campfires permitted every night?Campfire availability is contingent upon the current wildfire situation. It is crucial to be aware of any fire bans that may be in effect. In some areas along the trail, campfires may not be allowed regardless of the ban status.
What are the bathroom facilities?Participants will be responsible for creating catholes, which must be dug at least 200 feet (60 meters) away from water sources, trails, and campsites. We encourage the buddy system when venturing away from camp and advise carrying bear spray. As a camp rule, if you use the bathroom, please return with a stick for the fire. An outhouse is available at Wokkpash Lake.
How many guides will be present?One experienced guide will accompany the group throughout the trip, providing support and expertise. They will carry an In-Reach Satellite communication device for two-way messaging and emergency contact with helicopter support, ensuring safety in the unlikely event of an emergency.
Can we go on day hikes?Participants are required to remain with the group and are not permitted to embark on day hikes or other solo adventures. We prioritize group cohesion and visibility, and any changes to this policy will be communicated by the guide. Rain days may allow for day hikes, depending on weather conditions.
Will a detailed itinerary be provided?Yes, we will issue a detailed itinerary outlining our day-to-day activities. However, please note that river levels and weather conditions can significantly impact our plans, as flooding may occasionally render certain routes impassable.
What should we know about bears and wildlife?We adhere to stringent bear safety protocols while travelling in groups. The trail is shared with various wildlife, including both small and large game. Previous trips have encountered porcupines and marmots. Participants should store their supplies in dry bags, as food storage can be challenging. Guides will carry protective measures, including a firearm, and food will be stored away from camp whenever possible. Bear caches are located along the trail, including one at Wokkpash Lake.
Are dogs allowed on the trip?No pets, including dogs, are permitted on this trip. Only guides may bring their dogs.
What if the plane cannot land due to weather conditions?The weather in mountainous regions can be unpredictable, and flight cancellations may occur. We prepare for such scenarios by packing an extra day’s worth of food. Two planes will be scheduled to transport participants from Wokkpash Lake to Muncho Lake, but we cannot guarantee both will operate on the same day. We recommend not booking return flights for the same day and allowing an additional day or two in case of delays. Consider securing trip insurance for your travel arrangements.
Is there cell service on the trail?There is no cell service available while on the trail. If you possess a satellite communication device, we encourage you to bring it along. Once we arrive at the lodge, you will be provided with Wi-Fi access. Please note that phone use is discouraged during dinner to foster group interaction and enjoyment of the natural surroundings.
CommunicationPeak Wyld Co utilizes satellite email systems for emergency communication, specifically Inreach Garmin devices.
Liability 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.

BOOK NOW

Wildflower obsessed? This one’s for you.There’s a few-week window every summer when Holzworth Meadows reaches its peak. Lupine, paintbrush, mountain monkshood — the whole alpine goes wyld. We timed this trip to coincide perfectly with it.On our Holzworth Meadows backpacking trip, a dedicated plant interpreter joins you for the full journey. Not just names — but why each species grows exactly where it does, what it’s doing for the ecosystem, and why peak bloom is one of the most fleeting, unrepeatable things the north has to offer.Holzworth Meadows isn’t just famous for its bloom — it’s the kind of landscape that earns a second day. That’s why we built three into this trip with peaks in every direction.
4-6 Hours/8KM Return (Main Route) – Day route TBA
Elevation Gain: 610 M (2000 ft)
Rating: Moderate/Challenging

Included
Pack your bag and head into the backcountry for a weekend you won’t forget. This two-night backpacking adventure through Holzworth Meadows in Tumbler Ridge, BC is designed for those ready to slow down, go deep, and come home changed.
Before you hit the trail, we kick things off with a bear spray mini course — giving you the hands-on confidence to move through the wilderness the way it deserves to be moved through. A proper fossil handling session connects you to Tumbler Ridge’s extraordinary paleontological history, because this landscape has been telling stories long before any of us arrived.
From there, you shoulder your pack and go. The route into Holzworth Meadows rewards every step — wildflowers threading through open alpine terrain, ridgelines that earn their views, and the particular quiet that only comes when you’ve carried everything you need on your own back. A dedicated plant identification interpreter joins the journey, deepening your connection to the living world around you at every turn. Your guides carry a full first aid kit, emergency supplies, and a communication device throughout, so you can move through the backcountry with confidence and peace of mind.
Two nights in the mountains means you actually get to be there. No rushing out before sunset. No packing up before you’re ready. Just mornings with coffee and a view, and the rare gift of unhurried time in a place this wild.
As part of our commitment to this land and the people who protect it, $5 from every booking is donated to the Wolverine Nordic & Mountain Society — helping preserve the trails and wild spaces that make weekends like this possible. Every guest also takes home a Peak Wyld Co. sticker to mark the occasion.

3:00 PM — Arrive back at the Tumbler Ridge Visitor Centre. Trip concludes. Every guest receives their Peak Wyld Co. sticker — a small marker of something that felt anything but small.

Confirmed at Holzworth Meadows (directly from the Geopark records):
The moist meadows are a blaze of colour in summer, with Arctic Lupine, Mountain Monkshood, Subalpine Buttercup, Tall Larkspur, Tall Bluebell, Indian Paintbrush, and White Bog-Orchid among the species filling the lush environment between forests of Engelmann Spruce and Subalpine Fir.

The Wyld Experience
Where the trail ends,the Wyld begins
For three days you’ll carry everything you need into one of the most spectacular corners of the Canadian Rockies — a landscape of cathedral peaks, wildflower-smothered ridgelines, and glacial streams so clear you can count every stone on the bottom.
The Wyld route threads through old-growth forest, climbs above treeline to a secret tunnel carved through solid rock by millennia of frost and water, then descends through valley meadows blazing with summer colour. Small groups, no crowds. Just the mountains and the people beside you.
🚗
Trailhead Vehicle Info
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.

Wyld Itinerary
Three Days. Three Worlds.

Day 01
Friday, July 31
Into the Forest
We 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.
📍 7 km
↑ +620 m
⏱ 3–4 hrs

Day 02
Saturday, August 1
The Tunnel Climb
The 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.
“Step through the tunnel and the whole range opens up in front of you. One of those moments you don’t forget.”
After 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.
📍 9 km
↑ +860 m
⏱ 6–7 hrs

Day 03
Sunday, August 2
The Trek Home
The 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.
The mountains will look the same as when you left. You won’t be. That’s Wyld.
