A beautiful day dawned a few weeks ago to begin another adventure! That’s right, another adventure with Chance Breckenridge, our local explorer and ambassador with Tourism Wells Gray.

He was extended a generous invitation from Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd. to help familiarize himself even more with our local paradise. This time from the air!

Also invited along from our local tourism industry were Stephanie Molina, manager of Tourism Wells Gray, and Nicole Scott from Wells Gray Park Visitor Information Centre.

What a wonderful scenic flight experience for them.

It also helped them understand this beautiful area in another captivating way. A scenic flight-tour by YHL.

Their pilot for the tour was Ken Lancour, the base manager at Yellowhead Helicopters in Clearwater. There were no strenuous activities involved other than pressing the camera shutter.

The views were spectacular our lucky guests have agreed, and we are fortunate that they have shared them with us today.

Shout out to Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd. from your grateful guests as well as those of us enjoying the view from the photos.

Another amazing way to enjoy our beautiful valley. By all means add a flight-tour through YHL to your bucket list for an unparalleled experience.
