This wilderness park contains spectacular scenery and outstanding historical, cultural and spiritual values. It protects the entire Stein River watershed, in addition to preserving the First Nation’s history of the area. The Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux Heritage Park is user-maintained, with 150 km of hiking trails and routes, cable crossings, a suspension bridge and several wilderness campgrounds.
The park offers limited opportunities for easy day hikes (primarily in the lower valley) and extensive opportunities for multiple night backpacking trips over moderate to difficult terrain. Visitors must be self-sufficient and prepared for all conditions.
