Nisga'a Lava Beds

These photos were taken on the 2nd day of my Trip. Graeme and I visited Nisga'a Provincial Park, the site of Canada's last Volcano eruption that anihilated two Indian villages more then 250 years ago. It has since became a popular tourist attraction

Ready to go with lunches packed. Actually I believe the cooler Graeme is holding had our lunches and I have the Beer....I knew what I was doing.

Graeme at the Lava Beds. You can see the thick vegetation that has grown on the lava rocks over the years. Walking on it felt like standing on soft plush carpet

Me at the lava beds with the snowcapped BC mountains in the background

Graeme on the Suspension Bridge in the Nisga'a Village. Not that long ago, until a road bridge for cars was built, the Nisga'a people had to make do with only this bridge for crossing the river with food and belongings.

It only made sense that after lunch by the river we would crack open a beer and toast the land.
