    We stayed here in 2019 when it was the Homfray Lodge and in the same room as you. Knew the lodge was up for sale, it’s nice that it’s in the hands of the First Nations people of the area. We saw lots of those “grizzly rocks” too, but never any actual ones.

    What an incredible resort, Mike! Kudos to your First Nation's hosts - Cheyenne, Anita, Ian, Leon, etc. I will have to put the Klahoose Lodge on my to do list. I have been on a wilderness trip to Alaska (Lake Clark Wilderness - only reached by seaplane) and a boat up the Inside Passage to Malibu, so know the beauty of this area but what a special treat! I love waterfalls, and that one was spectacular. I love salmon, so could be happy for days eating the local catch, and crabs, oysters, etc. I was very jealous of your 3-day vacation, but glad you could share it with us! Thanks!

    Love your channel. I actually worked with Leon on a Hydro Electric project 43km inland from the Toba inlet. They converted an old BC ferry to a floating "camp" for the crew. We were there for about 5months from Nov-Mar 2012. Similar to the run-of-river generator they have and the Wilderness resort just a thousand times bigger. Very cool to see the Toba inlet in one of your videos!

From flying in by sea plane, to salmon fishing in absolute pristine environments, listening to the whales via underwater mikes, watching hundreds of porpoises play around our boat, it was all beyond wild and beautiful. BC has such beautiful and wild places to explore, this one looks wonderful too. Hope everyone gets to experience magic like this.

Only place I've been that comes close to this is the Old Post, which is a fishing lodge on lake St Joseph which at the Osnaburgh House first nation 1000KM north of Thunder Bay. The property has the original Hudson's Bay trading post building at it's center, which is still operated as a small general store for the fishing lodge so you can get pop,snacks,t-shirts, hats and small fishing things that you may need like line or hooks. It also has the original church that was built by European settlers along with a graveyard that houses the remains of some of the original settlers as well as a few of the local natives one of whom went to fight in WW1 and died and was brought all the way back for burial. Waking up in a part of Canada that 99% of the population will never see was magical.
