From the coastal town of Prince Rupert, I hopped on a ferry to cross the Hecate Staight, also known as the vomit comet, to discover the Galapagos of North America under blue skies and long days of sunshine along with a tree planter friend. We left there without many expectations, just taking advantage of our geographic location and the fact that we had common friends living on the islands. You never know when you'll be in that corner of the world again. Our times in Haida Gwaii were filled with long hikes on beaches, steep mountains, and rainforests that were drying out with the lack of rain this summer 2015. They were been spiced with killer whales, goat milking, berry picking, sunset watching, fireworks, testing different bedding options every night, shipwrecks, sea kayaking to tiny shell covered islands, unexpected hitch-hiking drives, curious sea lions, scared and scary bears and magestic bald eagles. I enjoyed the sense of remoteness, the unconditional company and the variety of activities we jam packed our days with.
Formely known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. Haida Gwaii is an archipelago north of the Pacific coast of British Colombia. It is land to the Haida peoples and has a population of about 4000. Some of the islands are protected under as the Gwaii Haanas National Park.
