Today, i went for the most beautiful hike, with a couple of my friends and some new friends as well. The hike was amazing, we got to see the most amazing volcano cone, the hike was so amazing we where able to stand right beside the cone. Our tour guide was most knowledgeable as we asked many questions. The cultural uses of plants was fantastic. I loved the tour and the weather was really on our side today. i really enjoyed my experience in the Nass valley. I hope i can experience this with my family, really soon.

We took a trip up to the Nass Valley up Hwy 113 and got to participate in a guided tour up to the volcano cone. It started at the Visitors Centre and then we drove part ways up a mountain, and then continued to hike the rest of the way to the cone.
It was a beautiful trail, and an interesting experience, as our guide shared stories of his ancestors and what they used certain trees and berries for. When we reached the top of the cone, we were graced with a legend told by the guide, as well as a 'Taste of the Nass', which featured samples of food from the Nass Valley such as oolichan, dried salmon, fried bread, blueberry jam, salmon hash, and smoked sea lion.
It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend taking the tour. The tour leaves every morning at 10am from the Visitors Centre and be sure to phone at least 24 hours in advance for the 'Taste of the Nass'.
