The Nahanni Paddle & Cirque Hike trip is an exceptional opportunity to see much more of Nahanni National Park Reserve than most visitors experience. This unique trip combines two weeks of canoeing on the Nahɂą Dehé (South Nahanni River), with an extra week to explore Glacier Lake and the Cirque of the Unclimbables.
We fly into Finlayson Lake on Day 1 for a first night at Inconnu Lodge. The next day, we fly to Island Lakes to make our way down from a gentle section of Nahɂą Dehé (South Nahanni River) to Glacier Lake, where we will embark on foot a multi-day, self-supported hike into the Cirque of the Unclimbables. Once we return to our canoes several days later, we will continue our paddling journey down Nahɂą Dehé, making stops at stunning Gahnîhthah Mįe (Rabbitkettle Lake), thundering Náįlįcho (Virginia Falls) and descending the four wondrous canyons.
This three week adventure is a good choice for those with some basic whitewater skills, prior hiking experience, a good level of fitness, and time to explore some of the special out-of-the-way highlights of the Nahanni National Park.
