Evidence of a fiery past
|
1. Hoodoos on North Beach, Graham Isle. They were carved from volcanic rock by pounding surf.
2. An old lava flow extends from shore, out into a calm, fog shrouded, Skidigate Inlet in early morning. Moresby Island is visible in the distant background, with the sharp peaks of the San Cristobal mountain range piercing the mist.
3. 'Tow Hill' a prehistoric volcanic mound rises up from North Beach, Graham Island, surounded by eroding slabs of age old lava.

Rich salmon fishery
|
Fishing in a river on Graham Island.
The combination of lush meadows, virgin forest, clean air and water, makes for a relaxing day of fishing in any of the numerous salmon filled island rivers. "Keep an eye out for black bears!"
