What’s included in the Black Feather experiences?

If independent backcountry hiking is not for you, Parks Canada has partnered with Black Feather: The Wilderness Adventure Company to provide two guided experiences in Quttinirpaaq National park. Want a guided backcountry adventure? Choose the Ad Astra Trek. Prefer taking photos on shorter hikes? The Ellesemere Basecamp is for you.

Ad Astra Trek
Circumnavigate the Ad Astra icecap in one of Ellesmere Island’s spectacular hiking areas. Travel with experienced Black Feather wilderness guides and explore the wilderness of Quttinirpaaq National Park. This guided trip requires a minimum of four participants to run and is restricted to people between the ages of 16 to 66.

Ellesmere Basecamp & Photography
Grab your camera and head into a stunning landscape to photograph mountainous and glacial vistas. Watch grazing muskoxen and see if you can spot Arctic wolves, Arctic foxes, and the different bird species that call Quttinirpaaq National Park home. The Black Feather basecamp will be your High Arctic home as you go on day trips in search of the perfect photo! This guided experience requires a minimum of four participants to run and is restricted to people between the ages of 16 to 66.

Which trip is for me?

The Parks Canada Iconic Experience is designed for people with experience navigating and completing multi-day backcountry hiking routes. There are no marked trails and varied, unstable terrain, including steep inclines and river crossings. Quttinirpaaq National Park is isolated and visitors should be able be prepared to wait multiple days if in need of rescue.

Would you rather a guided trip or basecamp experience? Our partner Black Feather will help you find the perfect adventure.

Walk in the footsteps of ancient hunters, polar explorers, and military scientists whose adventures are woven into the story of Quttinirpaaq National Park. Challenge yourself in this vast, rugged land. High above the Arctic Circle, hike through patches of brilliant yellow Arctic poppies beneath the 24-hour sunshine. Cross wild rivers and traverse immense valleys.

Travel past glaciers that reach down from tall, rugged peaks. Watch muskoxen graze near Arctic wolves. Look towards the horizon; the North Pole is only 800 km away.

Be one of the privileged few to set foot in this extraordinary place. Book one of nine seats on a Parks Canada charter from Resolute to Tanquary Fiord. Join a 14-day hike with Black Feather wilderness guides or create your own adventure in Canada’s most northern national park.

This is one of Parks Canada's unique Northern Iconic Experiences.
