Home to the rare white “Spirit Bear,” this global treasure is the largest coastal temperate rainforest in the world. We are privileged to have forged a personal relationship with a local Gitga’at Spirit Bear keeper who will escort us on a one-of-a-kind guided trip through their habitat.
During the month of September, five species of wild Pacific Salmon return to enter thousands of freshwater rivers. These salmon not only provide food for hundreds of bears, wolves, and eagles, but they also provide nutrients for the giant trees that grow in this temperate rainforest. As a result, these forests contain as much as four times the amount of life found in a tropical rainforest.
