     Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Prov. Park late August 2023






Located in the remote northwest corner of British Columbia is Spatsizi Plateau Wildness Provincial Park, home to moose, grizzlies, caribou, mountain and Stone sheep, and the sacred headwaters of the Stikine River. During our time here, we’ll backpack up to the Plateau, that looms over the east side of Cold Fish Lake; backpack into Ice Box Canyon in search for wildlife; and rest-up along the lakeshores of our Cold Fish Lake basecamp.
