Purgatory Lookout
Water bottle refillWashrooms
Purgatory Lookout is a scenic viewpoint in the Bella Coola backcountry reachable via the West Nusatsum FSR, offering views of the Noeick River valley, Styx Mountain, and Purgatory Glacier. The 7.8 km route from Odegaard Falls is open to foot, bike, and motorized travel, and is described as an ideal mountain bike excursion through meadows, ponds, and talus slopes. The Noeick River valley below was repeatedly scoured by jökulhlaups — glacial outburst floods from Ape Lake — giving the landscape its dramatic character.
