Be a Tourist in Your Own Backyard
The tourism opportunities in northern BC are truly world-class, but what do you expect when the land encompasses more than half of BC? In fact, the North totals roughly two-thirds of the province and fills it full of friendly people and diverse culture.
Don't forget about the phenomenal scenery, either. The land is incredibly diverse: it rolls across the prairie-like Peace country, climbs the jagged Rocky Mountains, stretches over the northern tundra, and extends to the coastal rain forest. The North is also home to four of BC's five largest river systems: the Fraser, Peace (pictured at right), Liard, and Skeena.
