Our network of trails offers a variety of adventures, from
half-hour walks along well-groomed paths to strenuous, overnight
treks along remote coastlines. Climb an ancient volcano at Tow
Hill, savour the river and beach ecology of the Pesuta shipwreck
trail, marvel at the old growth forest and culturally modified
trees on the Louise Dover Trail....just a few of the hikes available
here.
While the people of the Charlottes consider the entire archipelago
to be special, there are several protected areas, internationally
recognized as environmental jewels. These include ecological
reserves, Naikoon Provincial Park, Duu Guusd Tribal Park, Delkatla
Wildlife Sanctuary and Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve Haida
Heritage Site with the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Sgang
Gwaii.
The Queen Charlotte Islands are most well-known as the home
of the Haida people, whose distinctive culture colours all aspects
of island life. The Haida communities of Skidegate and Old Massett
have fine examples of contemporary poles, cedar canoes and longhouses-
art exhibits are commonly featured.
The museums of Haida Gwaii feature Haida art and culture as
well as the history of homesteading, settlements, and industry,
some dating back to the turn of the century. The remote ancient
village sites are open-air museums where evidence of poles and
longhouses remain.
