North Coast of Haida Gwaii

The North Coast of Haida Gwaii has two geographic icons that should be a must see if you have a chance. Tow hill (above) on North Beach and Pillar Rock (below) just south of Langara island are two remaining carvings left by the Glaciers thousands of years ago. Tow Hill is a popular attraction for the long beach that is surrounding it. People camp, surf, dig clams and crab here,year round. It is accessible by road. Pillar Rock is more of a fishing spot than it is a destination for the camper. Accessible mainly by boat, it is surrounded by rocky beaches and wildlife that is endless. Haida Gwaii is special in many ways, and each coast line has its own identity.

Salmon are Sacred

A Classic Troller named "Contessa" works the waters in Northern Haida Gwaii fishing for Coho and Chinook salmon. These hardworking fisherman spend day after day filling there holds with their catch. As it says on the side of the boat - SALMONARESACRED.ORG
A connection these fisherman have with the resource we try to maintain. These are wild salmon going to the grocery stores and restaurants, not the farmed salmon most locals stay away from. Take a look at the web site and educate yourself on the salmon fishery in British Columbia and the Fish Farm industry in BC. Personally, I would rather not have the fish farms here in our waters.
