Stikine River

The Stikine River, 539 km long, rises in the Spatsizi Wilderness Park in northwestern British Columbia and flows in a wide arc north and west out of the Stikine Plateau uplands, then south through the spectacular Coast Mountains range to meet the Pacific Ocean near Wrangell, Alaska. It drains 49,800 km2, its largest tributary being the Iskut River. Separating the upper and lower sections of the river is the 90 km unnavigable Grand Canyon, where a precipitous narrow gorge has been cut through volcanic rock to a depth of 450 m. Stikine, meaning "the (great) river," is the name given by the Tlingit, who came upriver regularly to collect berries and catch and dry salmon in the arid climate east of the Coast Mountains, and also to trade with the Tahltan of the upper Stikine watershed.
