THE FLIGHT
Our northbound flight follows the famous Alaska Highway over BC’s remote Northern Rocky Mountains before crossing the mighty Liard River. Witness the vastness of the southeastern Yukon and the rugged Mackenzie Mountains as we enter Canada’s Northwest Territories. We follow the Caribou Range, cross the Flat River near Albert Faille’s trap line cabin before reaching the south Nahanni River and Virginia falls. Touring in our clean, modern floatplanes allows you unprecedented views of the wild countryside below.
BOARDWALK AND VIRGINIA FALLS
We enjoy a leisurely stroll (30 min.) along the well maintained boardwalk to the upper viewpoint. Enjoy spectacular views and hear the thundering roar of Canada's tallest waterfall. Frequently a Parks Canada interpreter is on hand to provide information on the Nahanni, the native history, early explorers, and plant life.
LUNCH AT VIRGINIA FALLS
The roaring cataract is an unbeatable backdrop as you enjoy a picnic lunch (provided by us) while sitting on one of the park benches savoring the sights of Virginia Falls. You’re given the option to follow a more challenging portage trail and descend to the bottom of Virginia Falls.
