Spatsizi Forest

The Spatsizi Plateau lies near the headwaters of the Stikine, a northern country of forests, mountains and open uplands. Its name means “red goat,” recalling mountain goats that roll in iron-rich dust. Woodland caribou, mountain goats, bears and other animals inhabit the region, which has long been a Tahltan hunting ground. Trails cross the plateau and connect it with the Stikine country and watersheds farther east.
