WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS
Spotting Coastal Sea Wolves
Here's an experience to add to your North American safari list: seeing a sea wolf.
Hike through the old-growth forests of British Columbia and stroll along seemingly endless beaches to catch a glimpse of this elusive creature.
Sea wolves spend most of the day hidden within the dense forests, making them incredibly difficult to photograph.
Joining a guided tour with access to a boat will give you the best chances of spotting the wolves when they venture out to forage on fish and crustaceans.

Best Travel Insurance for Mountaineering & High Altitude Trekking
Did you know that many traditional travel insurance policies often exclude coverage above a certain altitude?
Yes, even those policies marketed as “hiking travel insurance” typically have a limit somewhere around 4,000 meters (12,500 feet).
So, what do you do if your planned hike takes you above that altitude? Hiking routes in the Andes or the Himalayas go well beyond that point.
To help ensure you're covered, we've put together a guide highlighting the best insurance companies that provide coverage for high-altitude trekking.
