I reckon that memories forged with your kids are the most precious assets you can acquire in this life and there\u2019s few better places to find them than on the Spatsizi Plateau<\/a>. The plateau is in the deep north of British Columbia, where the kids\u2019 phones don\u2019t work, the climate is outside of your control and you\u2019re definitely not the top animal in the food chain. <\/span><\/p>\n

There you can find all the local critters great and small, from the tiniest squirrels, through to the cranky beavers, the restless wolves, the wild sheep and goats, the graceful caribou, the beautifully – odd shaped Moose, right up to the half-tonne Grizzley Bears. Fortunately this last one we saw stuffed at Smithers Airport, but still very scary looking.<\/span><\/p>\n
