Embark on an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime adventure with fellow thrill-seekers on an incredible 5-day, 4-night all-inclusive stay at one of Alberta's most remote Backcountry lodges.
This extraordinary journey will immerse you in the untouched beauty of the historic, awe-inspiring Class VI Grand Rapids—a location where nature's wonders are on full display. Here, you'll find some of the planet’s largest spherical boulders (Concretions), numbering in the thousands, which have remained hidden from the world due to this region's inaccessibility.
To witness this mesmerizing site, you’ll embark on an exclusive helicopter flight out of the lodge, followed by a thrilling guided hike through the West channel of these formidable rapids—an experience few have had the privilege to see.
We’ve designed this rare event to offer a small group of adventure enthusiasts the opportunity to share the cost of the helicopter flight and stay at the lodge while experiencing this otherworldly destination. Each trip is strictly limited to just 6 to 8 participants, ensuring an intimate, personalized experience.
While the Grand Rapids are the highlight, they are just the beginning of the incredible wilderness adventure that awaits you on the historic Athabasca River. The folks from Grand Rapids Wilderness Adventures have meticulously crafted this multi-day journey to offer a profound connection to the wild heart of Alberta.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to be part of something truly extraordinary. Space is limited—reserve your spot now for this unforgettable experience.
