Float plane assisted cycling and fishing in the summer, heli-skiing in the winter, hunting all year round.
We took the opportunity of the BC Day public holiday to make the great escape north to do a bit of adventuring. Our main goal of-course was to undertake the spruce lake riding tour, which included a float plane trip from Tyaughton Lake (at the resort) up to Spruce Lake at a higher elevation.
Once at Spruce Lake, all we had to do was ride home through a magnificent valley surrounded by naturally occuring meadows and snow capped mountains...not a bad ride!

The plane is a Beaver, and is over 50 years old...i wouldn't have got in had i known that!
View from the float plane of the mountains - absolutely stunning!
