Introduction
Along the central coast of British Columbia, where the Canadian
Coast Range meets the Pacific Ocean, lies a wilderness known and
visited by few. Glaciers ice the summits of the peaks, spawning
rivers that trace a path to the sea through ancient forests of
cedar, hemlock and fir.
The waters and woods of the Bella Coola Valley have sheltered
British Columbia wildlife populations for millennia. Salmon, eagles
and grizzlies, totemic animals of coastal native peoples, are still
abundant here, evocative of nature that is both primal and
arresting. We are immersed in it, on this rare adventure into the
Canadian wild.
Journal Entry: The
Difference
'Flying into Bella Coola, British Columbia, I
was reminded of fairy tales of the European Alps. The white-topped
mountains ascended so sharply that it seemed like another
continent, and I half expected to find an oompah band in lederhosen
waiting at the end of the runway. But there is a difference between
the natural beauty of this out-of-the-way region and the Alps: the
wildlife.
In this remote part of North America, I saw
bald eagles perched in trailside trees, mountain goats hugging
perilous cliffs, and wolves running in dried riverbeds. And I saw
grizzlies. Depending on the time of the year, grizzlies can be
found anywhere from the stony shores of the myriad salmon-filled
rivers all the way to the slopes of the brilliant mountainsides. It
was the grizzlies that made the difference.'
