Northern British Columbia is one of the last corners of the earth to
offer absolute wilderness, The Great Bear Rainforest is the largest
intact temperate rainforest left on earth. It is the home of many
diverse and unique species of animals including the Spirit Bear, the
elusive rainforest wolf, pods of Orca whales and numerous bald eagles.
Everyone has read of it. Only a privileged few experience it for
themselves.
The setting
for King Pacific Lodge is unspoiled nature as far as the eye can see.
Range after range of mountains. Virgin forests, mountain streams,
pristine lakes. The air is clear and pure. It's like being present on
the morning of creation.
The Lodge
is located on the north coast of British Columbia, 56 miles south of
Prince Rupert -- the nearest town and our "gateway city." The southern
tip of the Alaska panhandle is located just north of Prince Rupert.
The area has been home to the Tsimshian people for over 10,000 years
and evidence of their history and culture are everywhere. The nearest
Tsimshian settlement is just across Douglas channel 45 minutes from
the lodge by boat.
Princess
Royal Island is an uninhabited paradise for the many species of
animals and birds. It has a deeply indented fjord-like coastline,
innumerable rivers and streams. Princess Royal and a few of the
surrounding islands are the only known home of the elusive Spirit
Bear.
