Gitwangak Battle Hill

005

  Five longhouses surrounded by a palisade stood on the top of this mound for at least a hundred years. They were burnt down in 1835 during a tribal war over fishing sites and trade routes.

  The accessible overlook has several panels with part of the story. More panels are along a short trail that starts down at the steps and climbs to the top of the mound.

  The parking area is large enough for RVs. Battle Hill
