As it is located in the northernmost part of BC, far from any major city, getting into the heart of the MK was no walk in the park. It took a flight from Vancouver to Fort Nelson and then a lengthy—albeit beautiful—drive to the Northern Rockies Lodge, where the crew and I caught a floatplane over the Alaska Highway and Toad River to the Mayfield Lake camp.
The camp—consisting of beautifully handcrafted teepees and an inviting fire pit surrounded by uninterrupted wilderness—is owned and operated by the legendary Wayne Sawchuk. As an established author, photographer, conservationist, cowboy, and wilderness guide, he is arguably as much an integral part of the MK as the MK is a part of him.
