Your invitation to a Secret Adventure
Secret Adventures are exclusive trips shared only with our subscribers. Sometimes it’s a twist on a past trip, and sometimes it’s something completely new. The exact locations are kept secret to protect these special places.
We first tried this adventure in 2024. While we didn’t spot a wolverine then, a camera trap showed one appeared just minutes after it got dark. This year, we’re heading out earlier in the season and staying up all night to improve our chances of seeing one in the wild. This time of the year also offer big chances for bears!
