Forming a backdrop are the rugged and majestic Cariboo Mountains. The canoe circuit is 116km (72mi). The trip provided spectacular scenery and wildlife, We had beaver swimming past our camp, moose standing along the lake shores and bears following us down the portage trail. We even passed one bear swimming across the lake.
