One of Canada’s most spectacular wilderness Rivers,
the Mountain River is traveled by fewer than 150
canoeists each year. Wild and remote, the Mackenzie
Mountain scenery is breathtaking. If offers glimpses of
caribou, Dall sheep, Arctic wolf and moose, against a
stunning backdrop of colour. The River itself drops more
than 3000 feet, providing a roller coaster ride of
almost continuous fun waves. From the first paddle
stroke to the finale at the Mackenzie River, the current
never stops as we travel through five dramatic canyons.
