value: Vetter Creek Campground sits inside Nisg̱a'a Memorial Lava Bed Park, where one of BC's youngest lava flows meets old-growth forest and First Nations cultural sites, with guided tours to the volcanic crater; the primary approach via paved Nisg̱a'a Highway is manageable on a loaded bike, though it is 100 km north of Terrace with services only in the adjacent Nisg̱a'a villages. An alternate route uses 86 km of unpaved Nass Forest Service Road — rideable but rough.
