Nicely written trip journal by Great Bear Lodge guest Phil Allen*,  describing his Great Bear Lake adventure that we believe took place in the late '60's or early '70's.

In keeping with the "vintage" Great Bear Lodge brochure in the following story, please enjoy this short movie featuring Great Bear Lake Lodge, hosted by Garcia and Seagrams Distillers in what appears to be 1965.

Please enjoy this short video taken during our trip to Great Bear Lake in July 2017.

While we are not entirely sure exactly what period of time this brochure relates to, given the price of $795 US - about $10,000 in Ca. dollars at todays exchange rate - it's likely from the mid 70's.

Louis Ayah (1857-1940) was a Dene prophet and spiritual leader.
