The Big Wall Belt of Canada runs the western flank of a vast, sprawling, and seldom-traveled Coast Mountains. The Daniel’s valley is bound by yɛkʷamɛn (Toba Inlet) to the North and Powell Lake to the south. In the 1985 Canadian Alpine Journal, the Coast Mountains explorer John Clarke described the Daniels as “the most beautiful arctic alpine wilderness, studded with lakes, small glaciers, and heather ridges.”
