British Columbia Hiking Tours are one of the best way’s to explore Canada’s abundant wilderness. Perhaps we’re biased, or maybe spoiled is more like it. Experiencing the true backcountry in Canada seems to evoke visions of towering snow-capped mountains, glaciers, wildlife, stretches of wilderness and solitude.
For most people visiting Western Canada, they may discover a bit of this on their Canadian holiday, but the perimeter of their exploring usually is confined by the popular tourist trails around Vancouver’s lower mainland, Vancouver Island and Sea-to-Sky Country. Don’t get us wrong — these areas have much to offer, but if only people could see past those popular boundaries they would discover the real British Columbia that lies just a step beyond when you experience British Columbia hiking tours at their finest, taking you to the wild side of BC.
Our British Columbia Hiking Tours are among the most unique and pure wilderness experiences on earth
We at Yoho Adventures founded our company on the idea of bringing people to the wild and remote areas of the Canadian wilderness for by offering unique British Columbia hiking tours.. We wanted to show our guests the places and areas that they would not likely venture to on their own. As a result, in the early days, when we were exploring the options and vast wilderness areas of British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies. Our hearts got set on this stunning region of the Northwest — beyond the busy lower mainland area of Vancouver and the infamous Whistler area.
We see photos of vast expansive, untouched Canadian wilderness that draw our souls and thirst for real British Columbia wilderness. Our curiosity leads us to explore these remote reaches of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region. With this in mind, we set off to experience a land of grandiose landscapes and untamed wilderness stretching from the East Cariboo mountains to the fjords of the Pacific Coast range.

This is a land that impresses us with its untouched purity and the qualities we dreamed of as backcountry travelers ourselves. Set in the mid-central area of British Columbia, north of Whistler, the Cariboo and Columbia Mountain ranges form a boundary in the east. In the west, it stretches all the way to the Pacific Coast range. For that reason, you find an impressive land with a vast diversity of landscapes — from rushing wild untamed river valleys to soaring ice plateaus.
These are some of the largest outside the polar regions. Possibly this is why they are known as the Monarch Ice Fields. The big open rolling country gradually transforms while we hike to lush coastal rainforest teaming with rich native culture and wildlife.

It has adventure written all over it. The best thing was about this place is that nobody else is here.

Consequently, there are no humans making their mark on the inspiring landscapes that lure us. This undeveloped playground begs for exploration. Certainly, we are happy to do so with reverence and respect.
A summer and many more thereafter our first experience there, we are meeting all types of interesting folk throughout the region. We take many long weeks of hiking, canoeing, exploring, and living life the way we love to live through true wilderness adventure experiences. Flying deep into the coast mountains, we explore terrain that has never been hiked or seldom experienced by any living thing except for roaming wild caribou, wolves, wolverines, and perhaps a cowboy or First Nations back in the day. Most noteworthy of all locations, this is the backbone for our adventure experiences at Yoho and hiking tours British Columbia.
