This short You Tube montage shows the raw beauty of Tsayta Lake, a long and narrow body of water which fills the bottom of a broad valley in the Omineca Mountains.

Above the crest of a low ridge on the south shore of the lake, the peaks of the Mitchell Range reward visitors with stunning views. To the east, alpine meadows grace the slopes of the Kwanika Range. Large forest fires consumed the area in 1867 and 1892. Today, 120 years after the last blaze, the sub-boreal spruce forest has completely regenerated.
