Giant Sitka Spruce Estimated to be more than 500 years old, the Giant Sitka was named British Columbia's largest living spruce in 1983 and is fiercely protected by law. It reaches 95 m (312 ft) tall, and is surrounded by several more examples of notable size as well. The wealth of BC's northern climes were what first attracted industry such as logging to the area, a practice that is now highly regulated to protect the province's old-growth forest.

Thorsen Creek Petroglyphs Located about eight kilometres west of Hagensborg, the Thorsen Creek Petroglyphs are a collection of 100 First Nations rock carvings and drawings dating back thousands of years. The pictographs were patiently carved out of the bedrock using stone tools, sticks, and even fingers, and represent human and animal life and the power of nature. Some surmise the Easter Islanders may have originated from the area, as the images closely resemble those found on the Polynesian Island. Address: Bella Coola Highway Hagensborg BC Canada
