BC is huge. For this particular spot, it's a very long distance from the nearest road, even one passable by high clearance 4x4. Unless you had the valley it's in as a specific destination, would be easy to miss. It is also not accessible by float plane, so either a multi day hike or helicopter.

If you look at where the population is concentrated in BC, the 10 largest cities, take a look at the total population of the province, and then look at how many square km it is...

No, this is actually quite close to a quite heavily traffic'd area -- Mt Robson and Jasper National Park are quite close. The town of Valemount not far. Hwy 16, the northern branch of the Transcanada Highway, the route between Edmonton (major city population ~1million and about 5 hours away) and most of B.C. is like 50km away. There is a major 4-season ski resort being built in Valemount over the next few years. Hiking, heli-sking, mountain biking, and snowmobiling are big sports in the area.

This is not some remote arctic outpost.
