Tuya Mountains Provincial Park

Tuya Mountains Provincial Park spans 180 square kilometers of volcanic terrain, featuring steep-sided mountains and flat-topped volcanic formations at the Tuya River headwaters.

The British Columbia government designated this area as a provincial park in April 2001 to preserve its geological formations and protect the regional wildlife populations.

The protected lands belong to the traditional territories of three First Nations groups: the Tahltan, Kaska Dene, and Teslin Tlingit communities.

Visitors need to arrange transportation by floatplane or helicopter from Dease Lake, as the remote location requires multiple days of hiking to reach by foot.

The park contains distinctive subglacial volcanoes called tuyas, which formed when lava erupted beneath ancient glaciers during the last ice age.
