The Forbidden Plateau
- Thread starter bdahunter
- Start date
reminds me of the story of the commanche,who were actually a band of the cheyenne,the word commanche is a ute word which means,he who always wants to fight with me.
though the commanche claim this area as their stomping ground they were actually driven here by other cheyenne bands,the spanish were in this area before the commanche according to some historians.

James had a better backdrop, of course, being within a stone's throw of where the Haida perished and within sight of where the children were kidnapped.
I've hiked up on Forbidden Plateau with my dog and it is beautiful with the wildflowers in bloom. In winter it is an uninviting place with no protection from the wind. One spring I was about an hour out from the 'Forbidden' trail head when I noticed shadows moving through the forest above me, wolves. They must have picked up the scent of my bouvier,(100 lb, black shaggy sheepdog) who I quickly put back on lead before he got their scent. If my dog had gone after those wolves, he would have disappeared like the people in the story. I know that wolves don't attack humans but with only a walkingstick for protection I felt a little vulnerable watching those large shadows flitting through the edge of the forest. I made it back to the truck in well under an hour.

the first of Comex Lake from The Forbidden Plateau and the second is a long shot of the lake and the Plateau. The Plateau is the white circle in the middle.
Fascinating history. Thanks for taking the time to post it

Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Some times I just wonder what it would have been like to have lived back then.
But then again, with the average life spanning just into the 40's and maybe 50's...I kinda like it here...to LOOK at the forbidden plateau rather than to experience it.
Great story. Thanks.
