We stumbled onto this big boar, miles up a lonely, wild river. He was jumping on the coho as they struggled up the shallows. It was his river! .

When visiting Bella Coola, Stop in at the Art Gallery and check out the show that's on and there's also a gift store with local handmade items in it!!! 1961 Hwy 20!

You’ve traveled this far - take some time to enjoy beautiful Nimpo Lake!
