       "Waytk" (welcome) to the Quaaout (pronounced KWA- OUT) Resort, a blend of the latest modern building techniques with Native designs influenced by the Shuswap Aboriginal band (tribe).  You will enter the world of the First Nations people, a wonderful chance to learn their ancient traditions, taste the food, and enjoy the native music.  As they say, “Retreat from the daily grind to a natural sanctuary where your worries float away on gentle breezes.”  Nestled along the shores of the little Shuswap Lake, Quaaout is 4 hours by car or a 1 hour flight from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  Everything is here for you- indoor whirlpool and swimming pools, fully equipped gym, meting rooms, restaurant, conference center, 2,400’ beach, all-inclusive activities, authentic native and American-style gourmet meals, as well as native interpretive areas including teepees, kekuli (traditional winter pit house) and a traditional sweat lodge.

Each glacier’s face- incredible mammoth size walls of ice- is constantly

 

changing as chunks of ice fall into the bay creating rivers of ice!  The glaciers look

 

still yet are slowly moving flowing downhill.
