This paper summarizes field characteristics of volcanic & sedimentary facies along a transect within the Hazelton Group rocks in the east Telegraph Creek area of north-west British Columbia. It begins with a brief description of the geological setting, then presents facies descriptions & information on the distribution & associations of the rocks described. The facies are organized into the following mappable units: dacite-andesite breccia; coarse sandstone to conglomerate; felsic volcaniclastic & subordinate breccia & mudstone; interbedded mudstone & sandstone; and basalt.
