Situated in British Columbia’s rugged South Chilcotin Mountains, Tyax Adventures offers a two-day, one-night mountain biking and hiking tour that tests both skill and stamina amid some of Canada’s most striking alpine terrain. These mountains stretch across a remote wilderness filled with granite ridges, crystal-clear lakes, and dense forests dominated by Douglas fir and lodgepole pine. The area’s volcanic and glacial geology carves dramatic rock faces and meadows rich with wildflowers in summer months. Tyax Adventures taps into this untamed landscape by providing access to a network of well-maintained backcountry trails that meander through valleys and ascend into open alpine bowls.
What sets this experience apart is its blend of adrenaline and immersion: riders and hikers cover 40-50 km of varied terrain, from technical singletrack descents to steady uphill climbs, with a pace that balances challenge with appreciation. The historic backcountry camp where guests spend the night adds cultural resonance to the journey. This camp, equipped with rustic comforts, allows adventurers to rest under the vast Chilcotin sky, far from the distractions of modern life. Perfect for intermediate to expert outdoor enthusiasts, the tour demands a solid fitness level and technical riding or hiking skills.
Tyax Adventures itself is more than a guides’ company—it’s a gateway to the South Chilcotins, an area less trafficked than coastal BC but overflowing with wild beauty and outdoor opportunity. Its commitment to maintaining sustainable trail use and preserving the region’s natural and cultural heritage ensures that every trip supports long-term conservation. Those looking to experience this combination of rugged wilderness and high-energy touring will find Tyax Adventures a standout provider in a stunning, untamed corner of Canada.
