Spatsizi Trip Report

| In August 1998, 9 fishermen began a canoe trip down the Spatsizi River in Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park. For 9 days they canoed and fished though beautiful canyons. The day began with the 100km three-hour drive up the BC Railroad grade to the start of the 5km portage to the Spatsizi River. We were 9 guys squeezed into two extended cab pick-ups, along with drivers Hal and Stan, 4 canoes and what seemed like enough equipment to sustain us on the trek for a month. Stan commented that he had had people with more gear than us, but could not remember when. The drive to the portage took us to the tree line and above 4,600ft elevation. The weather was perfect, clear and cool. | |

History of the area, information about the hikers and a journal of the five day trek over roughly 35km. Nootka Island, just north of Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island's western shores, abounds with the earliest history of British Columbia. The ancient Nuu-Chah-Nulth* village of Yuquot, at the southwestern tip of the island has been continuously settled for over 4,300 years. It is here, the only place in Pacific Canada, where native whaling originated and developed. One of the most significant archaeological finds associated with this heritage is known as the 'Whalers Shrine'. Originally located at one of the lakes adjacent to Yuquot (Friendly Cove), it is now in the New York museum of Anthropology. By the late 18th century, when their ranking leader, Chief Maquinna, greeted the first white men on Vancouver Island, the site at Friendly Cove had become the capital summer village of the Mowachaht* people, housing around 1,500 natives in about 20 wooden long-houses.

11 friends paddle around 11 lakes (Bowron Provincial Park) in 7 seven days. Photos of the paddlers and a photo gallery are included. Murray's here. It's time to load up the boats." Those words were music to my ears. My biggest worry about the trip was getting the tandem kayak I rented from the University of Calgary up to Edmonton. I mean we're talking about a 22 foot boat on top of a Ford Taurus here.
Anyways, it was time to load up. We decided to load a canoe and one of the single kayaks on top of Murray's car for the ride out to BC. That left four kayaks (two tandems, and two singles) to put on top of John's truck. Now I know John's got a pretty good sized truck, but I couldn't see us fitting four boats on its roof rack. Then I SAW the roof rack. Let's just say that four boats would be no problem.
