The Tsitika is the last wild river on the eastern side of Vancouver Island and flows into world famous Robson Bight in Johnstone Strait. The canyon and its pools are, for most of the year, a roaring spectacle and a favourite lair for the steelhead, a magnificent seagoing rainbow trout that is one of 18 species of fish spawning in this river. In the winter, when water flow is done and torrents abated, the snow creates a white magic over the valley beckoning the visitor to trudge ever onward over the hill and around the next bend. Truly a winter wonderland.
