The Sophia Range Location
The Sophia Range is located on the north side of Nootka Island, west of Tahsis Inlet, between Nuchatlitz Inlet and Esperanza Inlet. The range has an area of 150 km2 (58 sq mi), forming a peninsula, and is made up of hills. Mountaineers would have a perfect time hiking through the treed hills around lakes and tarns packed with beautiful wildlife and birds.
The Nuchatlitz Provincial Park, placed at the northwestern tip of Nootka Island, west of the Sophia Range, is a paradise worthy of visiting, ornamented by beautiful wildlife and birds as sea otters, Marbled Murrelet. The Nuchatlitz Provincial Park is made up of reefs and islets where many intertidal pools offer opportunities to study lovely marine creatures.
The remote islands offer exposed coasts, quiet beaches, and several beautiful coves. Choose a spot that fits pitching a camp, whether within the range's area or Nuchatlitz Provincial Park, or have perfect time kayaking and meandering through the peaceful islands.
There are several opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts at the range and nearby areas, including wildlife viewing, fishing, paddling, and camping.
The park protects a variety of flora and fauna within a vast range of marine and intertidal environments. Migrating Gray Whales add the significance of shorelines that are valuable for herring spawning.
