We have cut a new trail in the Bedwell Valley last
week. For those guests who want to
experience a river crossing on horseback, without having to take an all day
ride, we accommodated this desire by blazing trail on the other side of Bedwell
River closer to the camp. The trail goes
through lush fern gardens and a beautiful tree 
stand of Douglas fir and Sitka
Spruce. Moreover, our guests will see a
lot of wildlife sign such as droppings, tree rubs, bedding and grazing
areas. Dickson, another wrangler, was
fortunate enough to find a massive elk antler which is now on display in his
cabin.
In addition, we released the rest of our hatchery fish. In the end we ended up releasing 23640 Chinook salmon fry. We will not know the
results of this project for another 4 years which is the life cycle of this
particular salmon species; however, the estimated survival rate of hatchery fish
is 1%. A possible 236 fish is better
than none. Follow the link to see more
video of the Chinook and to see pictures of the Hatchery project from the
beginning check out the “Bedwell Chinook Hatchery” photo album.
