Photograph grizzly bears as they hunt for salmon in the azure blue waters of Chilko Lake and the Chilko River! Remote, spectacular, and pristine, the Chilcotin Country of British Columbia remains largely undiscovered by outsiders. We will "own" the camp, staying in riverside safari-style tents perched high above the waters with abundant wildlife nearby, with grizzlies feeding on salmon right in front of you and meandering nearby.
