The Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Reserve is located in an inlet, about 40 minutes flying time by float plane, north of Prince Rupert and is part of the Great Rainforest found along the British Columbia maritime coastline. It is a very pristine environment with limited access and full of beauty. It is truly a gorgeous wilderness location and home to a healthy population of Grizzly Bears.

There are breeding Northern Gannets, Common Murres and Black-legged Kittiwakes as well as other varieties of seabirds. The main Gannet colony occupies the upper area including the flats on the top while the other species occupy the various cliff faces. The estimate at the time was 120,000 breeding Gannets.
