Overview
Located southwest of Woss Lake, the Haihte Range goes by Little Patagonia is overlooking Tahsis and Zeballos communities. The Haihte Range, with 75 sq km (28.9 sq miles) area, is home to some of the largest remaining glaciers on Vancouver Island.
In an arcing ridge system, Kaipit Lake and Woss Lake are to the north of the range with the Nomash River. The high terrain, including long aesthetic lines, is perfect for skiing at the lower glacier shelves, and visitors would enjoy excellent alpine climbing at jagged spires along the main ridge.
Woss Lake consisting of the glacier shelves in the north part of the range, is within Woss Lake Provincial Park, while the west side of the range, including the Nomash River, is outside of the park. The cliffs are on all sides at the lower slopes of the range, and there are not many accesses up to the glaciers.
If the snow is not stable, the routes are prone to avalanches. The range experiences many cloudy days due to being close to the coast. Fierce winds hit the range and make access to the range more difficult. Activities such as ice and rock climbing, in addition to skiing, are amusing for mountaineers visiting the Haihte Range.
