The Dean Channel winds through the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, a vast wilderness stretching between the Pacific Ocean and the rugged Coast Mountain Range on British Columbia’s west coast. Covering over 2 million hectares, the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the largest remaining tracts of temperate rainforest on Earth. Towering 1,000-year-old cedar trees and 90-metre Sitka spruce rise above lush valleys, while rich salmon-bearing streams thread through the landscape, sustaining an incredible array of wildlife. Here, you’ll find orcas, eagles, wolves, black and grizzly bears, and the elusive white Kermode (Spirit) bear, a creature found nowhere else in the world.

Along creek edges and low-lying wet areas, you'll also find red alder, black cottonwood, and willows, contributing to the lush, layered structure of the forest. This mix of coniferous giants and deciduous trees reflects the high rainfall, cool temperatures, and ecological richness of the Great Bear Rainforest.
