Set deep within British Columbia’s rugged South Chilcotin Mountains, Tyax Adventures offers a four-day, three-night journey that challenges seasoned mountain bikers and hikers alike. This trip threads through remote valleys and alpine ridges, where ancient volcanic formations carve a wild landscape of rocky outcrops and dense forests of lodgepole pine and Douglas fir.

The tour’s backbone are the historic camps where adventurers rest each night, providing simple comfort amid wilderness solitude.

The area’s remoteness slows time, offering visitors an immersive connection to nature beyond the typical trail system.
