Come wander with us.

Tucked into the mountains of the Cariboo, Wells is a place that invites you to get a little lost, look a little closer, and let your curiosity lead the way. In the fall, the landscape feels especially magical — crisp mountain air, golden colours, quiet forests, and a thousand little things waiting to be discovered and maybe even a first snow fall.

This is a weekend for wandering off the beaten path, exploring places you might never find on your own, learning to read the landscape, and finding a little whimsy in the wild.

Friday Evening: A Little Glow in the Woods

We’ll kick off our weekend with something a little out of the ordinary: a nighttime fungi glow wander.

As darkness settles over Wells, we’ll head into the woods with our foraging guide to discover the fascinating world of fungi by glowing light. It’s a chance to slow down, look closer, and experience the forest in a completely different way — where the familiar becomes strange, the tiny things become extraordinary, and curiosity leads the way.

This is a special experience led by our visiting foraging guide, travelling all the way from Vancouver to share their knowledge and help bring this weekend to life.

Think curious discoveries, forest magic, and a little after-dark wonder. What better way to begin a weekend devoted to exploring the wilder side of Wells?

The forest has a different kind of magic after dark.

On Saturday, we’ll spend a full day exploring the mountains and hidden corners around Wells on a guided off-trail adventure. No rushing from one viewpoint to the next — just a full day to roam, discover, and see where the landscape takes us.

On Sunday, we’ll follow the river and wind our way into the woods for a foraging adventure. We’ll learn about the landscape and its seasonal offerings before gathering for some unique eats in the forest — a little wild, a little unexpected, and a delicious way to experience the place around us.

In between adventures, there will be time to settle in, warm up in the sauna, share stories, meet new people, and enjoy the simple magic of a weekend spent outdoors.

Come for the mountains. Stay for the forests, the fall magic, the unexpected discoveries, and the connections made along the way.

A weekend to wander, wonder, and get a little wild.

Getting to Wells, BC

A little off the beaten path — and all the more magical for it.

Wells is tucked into the Cariboo Mountains near historic Barkerville, and getting here is part of the adventure. Whether you’re travelling from Vancouver, the Okanagan, or somewhere in between, we’d love to welcome you for a weekend of mountain wandering, woodland discoveries, and a little fall magic.

Coming from Vancouver?

If you’re travelling from the Lower Mainland, flying is an option worth exploring. You can look at flights to Quesnel or Prince George, then arrange ground transportation to Wells. Prince George generally offers more flight options, while Quesnel is closer to Wells.

Flights and ground transportation are booked separately, so we recommend planning your travel before booking your spot.

Prefer a road trip? You can also drive from Vancouver through the Fraser Canyon and Cariboo, making the journey part of your fall adventure.

Coming from the Okanagan?

Wells is a great destination for an autumn road trip from the Okanagan. Plan to drive north through the Interior toward the Cariboo, taking in the changing colours along the way. Allow plenty of travel time, especially as fall weather can change quickly in the mountains.

A few things to know

• Your destination: Wells, British Columbia, near Barkerville Historic Town and Park.
• Arriving by air: Explore flights into Quesnel or Prince George, and arrange a rental vehicle or other ground transportation.
• Driving: Check your route and road conditions before departure, and plan to arrive in Wells in time for our weekend kickoff.
• Travelling solo? Let us know if you’re interested in connecting with other participants to explore possible carpooling options.

Once you’re here, we’ll take care of the adventure. All you need to bring is your curiosity, a sense of wonder, and a willingness to get a little wild.
