Northern British Columbia stretches from towering Mount Robson in the east to Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) in the west and is a vast wilderness of grizzly bears, pristine glaciers, ancient totems and raw rugged beauty. Tis is a land where outdoor recreation is a certainty and where alpine mountains and crystal clear lakes offer everything from helicopter skiing to salmon fishing. Visitors come here to golf, go horseback riding, hike the many trails, experience alpine and cross-country skiing and more. Northern British Columbia has an abundance of wildlife – some very rare including the Kermode or spirit bear and Stone’s sheep. To experience true wilderness like no other destination, plan a trip to Northern British Columbia.
The Great Northern Circle Tour This spectacular road odyssey in Northern British Columbia takes you through untamed wilderness and stunning mountain ranges unique to this immense region. Plan for eight to fourteen days of adventure on this 2,632 km (1,635 mi) trip, as you drive on the Yellowhead (Highway 16) Northern British Columbia’s east-west corridor, north on the Stewart Cassiar (Highway 37) which cuts through the stunning Coast Mountains, and finally southeast on the legendary Alaska Highway (Highway 97) – with its historic towns surrounded by dramatic landscape. Pristine fishing lakes and rivers, relaxing campsites and resorts, and spontaneous wildlife encounters are highlights, with natural and historical attractions along the route.
