One of the last great intact temperate rainforests on Earth, home to grizzlies, black bears, and the legendary white spirit bear (Kermode bear). First Nations-guided boat expeditions time their trips to the autumn salmon run from September to October, when bears crowd estuaries and spawning rivers throughout the archipelago. The chance of seeing both a grizzly and a spirit bear on the same outing is what makes this zone unique.
