Dedicated to the late Chief Skidegate
Dempsey Collinson Memorial Trail的点评
点评：Located just a few feet in from the western Crabapple Creek trailhead entrance (near the old M&B site), you’ll spy the “Dempsey Collinson Chief Sgiidagids Memorial Trail” signage. The marker is posted on a large alder tree but, depending upon the time of year, it can be difficult to spot as branches may obstruct it from view. Who was Chief Skidegate and why is there a trail named in his honour?
Dempsey Collinson became Chief Skidegate on 23 March 1973. The event was historically significant because he became the first Haida of the twentieth century to renew the ancient tradition of proclaiming a chieftainship through the potlatch ceremony. As Chief Skidegate, Dempsey played an integral and life-long role in the community: He helped guide the Council of the Haida Nation at their Hereditary Chiefs table; he worked for his community at the Band level as a Councillor and Chief Councillor; and, he helped save the Haida Gwaii Watchmen Program via a generous personal monetary contribution in the 1980s. When Chief Skidegate passed away in 2008, the loss was even acknowledged in the BC Legislature by Premier Gordon Campbell. As such, it is little wonder that Dempsey should have a trail bearing his name. Throughout his life he fought for, and protected, Haida Gwaii.
The Dempsey Collinson Memorial Trail began development in 2018 and finished in 2020. As such, it is one of Haida Gwaii’s newest recreational trails. The route is well-marked and nicely maintained; however, be prepared for a total elevation gain of approximately 200 meters. Depending on your level of ambition, you could treat this route as point-to-point (beginning near the M&B site and ending at Second Avenue), or as a 6-kilometer loop trail that includes a return hike along Crabapple Creek. Regardless of one’s approach, you will encounter a beautiful mix of second growth and old growth forest; Culturally Modified Trees; and clear evidence of early logging practices on Haida Gwaii. It makes for an epic short hike that should take approximately 2 hours to complete.
It should be noted that, after you climb the ridge and begin moving east, the Dempsey Collinson Trail eventually merges with, and turns into, the Gore Brook Trail. You will know when you’ve entered Gore Brook because the trail will eventually be marked with scallop shells (along with the white markers you’ve been following up to this point). From here, it’s a gentle descent down towards Second Avenue.
Along with the unique history lesson one learns while hiking this route, it was also a reminder – for me – not to underestimate any trek! Prior to hiking the Dempsey Trail, I was told it connects up with Gore Brook. Looking on the map, the two trails are quite close together; so, I anticipated a total route length of maybe 1 or 2 kilometers. Thinking the total hike would be under an hour, I brought a single small bottle of water. Let’s just say I was feeling pretty dehydrated by the time we finished the 6-kilometer loop via Gore Brook and Crabapple Creek. Oops!

翻译：距西海棠溪步道入口仅几英尺（靠近 M&B 旧址），您会看到“Dempsey Collinson Chief Sgiidagids Memorial Trail”标牌。该标记贴在一棵大桤树上，但根据一年中的不同时间，可能很难发现，因为树枝可能会遮挡它的视线。谁是斯基德盖特酋长？为什么有一条小道以他的名字命名？
登普西·科林森 (Dempsey Collinson) 于 1973 年 3 月 23 日成为斯基德盖特酋长。这一事件具有重要的历史意义，因为他成为 20 世纪第一位海达人，延续了通过夸富宴仪式宣布酋长地位的古老传统。作为斯基德盖特酋长，邓普西在社区中发挥了不可或缺的终生作用：他帮助指导海达民族理事会的世袭酋长会议；他在乐队级别为社区工作，担任议员和首席议员； 20 世纪 80 年代，他通过慷慨的个人捐款帮助拯救了 Haida Gwaii 守望者计划。 2008 年，斯基德盖特酋长去世后，省长戈登·坎贝尔 (Gordon Campbell) 甚至在 BC 省立法机关承认了这一损失。因此，难怪登普西应该有一条以他的名字命名的足迹。他一生都在为海达瓜伊而战并保护它。
登普西·柯林森纪念步道于 2018 年开始开发，于 2020 年竣工。因此，它是海达瓜伊最新的休闲步道之一。路线标记清晰，维护良好；然而，请做好总海拔升高约 200 米的准备。根据您的野心程度，您可以将此路线视为点对点路线（从 M&B 站点附近开始，到第二大道结束），或作为一条 6 公里长的环路，其中包括沿着海棠溪 (Crabapple Creek) 的回程徒步旅行。无论采用哪种方法，您都会遇到次生林和老生林的美丽组合；文化改造树木；海达瓜伊早期伐木活动的明确证据。这是一次史诗般的短途徒步旅行，大约需要 2 小时才能完成。
应该指出的是，当您爬上山脊并开始向东移动后，登普西柯林森步道最终会与戈尔布鲁克步道合并并变成戈尔布鲁克步道。当您进入戈尔布鲁克时，您就会知道，因为这条小路最终会标有扇贝壳（以及您到目前为止一直在跟踪的白色标记）。从这里开始，缓慢下降至第二大道。
除了在徒步这条路线时学到的独特历史教训之外，这也提醒我——不要低估任何徒步旅行！在徒步登普西步道之前，我被告知它与戈尔布鲁克相连。从地图上看，两条步道距离很近；因此，我预计路线总长可能为 1 或 2 公里。考虑到总徒步旅行不会超过一个小时，我带了一小瓶水。这么说吧，当我们完成途经戈尔布鲁克和海棠溪的 6 公里环路时，我感觉非常脱水。哎呀！
