|
Trip Itinerary
 Day 1 - Day 9 |
|
Day 10: Today finds us completing the 35 km Third Canyon and continuing on through 2nd Canyon, (15 km) where the Nahanni has carved its route through the Headless Range and into Deadmen Valley. This valley is known for its legend and mystery made famous by the mysterious deaths of the McLeod Brothers.

| Here the vista is noticeably different, as the valley opens up, with distant views of the Tlgotsho Plateau. Deadmen Valley offers an abundance of exploratory options. The massive Prairie Creek alluvial fan provides excellent camping, hiking and wildlife observations. |
| Day 11-12:We start the morning with a run through the exhilarating waves of George's Riffle and on into First Canyon. The imposing walls of First Canyon reach heights of over 1400 m. Groups often drift the length of this magnificent 26 km canyon, immersed in its splendor. The canyon walls are dotted with hundreds of caves. Close to its exit we will camp for the night at Lafferty's Canyon, with good hiking opportunities for a layover on day 12. |
| Day 13: Following breakfast, it's down to Kraus' Hot Spring for a soothing dip in its 32 C plus waters. From here we bid farewell to the canyons and make our way to the Nahanni's Splits, a 70 km run through a maze of islands. |
| Day 14: We reach the confluence of the Nahanni and the Liard Rivers and arrive at the Native village of Nahanni Butte. (Pop. approx. 100) Remote, yet surprisingly modern, a stroll into town provides insight into a culture entering the technological age. We will pick our river taxi here and make short work of the slow moving Liard River. Our ride will bring us to Lindberg's Bed and Breakfast with hot showers, delicious meals and the trip end celebration awaits. This night we will enjoy a bed in one of Lindberg's rustic log cabins.
|
Day 15: After breakfast we will begin the trip home, either with the shuttle van to Fort Nelson or with your own transportation.
