- Meet our guides, and spend the afternoon hiking or canoeing around the Bluff Lake area
- Explore breathtaking mountain scenery, vivid blue waters and endless fields of wildflowers around Tatlayoko Lake by horseback

- Heart stopping hydraulics and towering, standing waves cascade for more than 18 miles through deep and narrow lava gorges, making for some non-stop excitement
- Camp near the junction of the Taseko River
- Challenge the Taseko. With a similar gradient to the Chilko and even less traveled, participants can expect long narrow canyons that twist and turn through as we ride the cascading torrent downstream for mile upon mile
- Stretch your legs on some great biking or hiking trails near the junction of the Taseko and Chilko River before returning to civilization
