Overview

About

At Gitwangak Battle Hill National Historic Site (formerly Kitwanga Fort), scan wide-open views of the scenic Kitwanga River valley and a high grassy knoll, once the site of a fortified village where the Gitwangak people defended their domain in the mid-1700s to 1800s. Hear the whisper of First Nations legends in the air around you as you stand beneath a line of majestic age-old totem poles at nearby Gitwangak Village.

When to go

The best time to visit Gitwangak Battle Hill National Historic Site is during the summer months when the weather is most favourable. The site is open year-round for self-guided walks, but the winter can bring snow and colder temperatures, making access more challenging.

  • Wear appropriate footwear for walking on uneven terrain.
  • Respect the cultural significance of the site and do not disturb any artifacts.
  • Bring water and snacks, as there are limited facilities on site.
