Teslin Trail

Between the Stikine River and Teslin Lake, trails cross a country of mountains, rivers and wetlands. They belong to an older network of travel and exchange among the peoples of the northern interior. Tahltan traders travelled from the Stikine towards Dease Lake, where they met Kaska trading partners; another route followed the Dease River towards the upper Liard. These journeys connected communities across the high country between the Pacific watershed and the northern rivers.
