No roads lead through the remote northern boreal wilderness directly into tiny Churchill, so plan to arrive by train or plane to see the area’s most famous fall residents, the polar bears. More than a thousand of the world’s largest bear migrate through the “polar bear capital of the world” during October and November, when the first ice forms on the edge of Hudson Bay. The frozen conditions make it easier for hungry bears to hunt for seals and give Tundra Buggies solid ground on which to carry small tour groups out to see the wildlife. Prepare for snowy, winter weather by wearing insulated boots, jacket, and gloves; layered clothing; thermal underwear; and wool socks and hat. Stay in town at the cozy, trading-post-style Lazy Bear Lodge and take a sled dog ride next door at Wapusk General Store, or bunk among the bears in the bare-bones Tundra Buggy Lodge at Polar Bear Point. These module units are assembled annually in a Wildlife Management Area site chosen for optimal 24/7 polar bear viewing.
In the Fall, the sub-arctic coniferous forest, with its miniature shrubs and flowers located just south of Churchill, burst into reds, violets and yellows.
