PEACE REGION 9


PEACE B


C’s Peace Region is a land of vast lakes and rivers, fertile valleys, jagged mountain ranges, and snow-capped


peaks. The provincial parks offer numerous year-round outdoor adventures and experiences including fishing, boating, hiking, biking, boating in the summer and skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. Located in the northeast corner of the province, the Peace Region has seemingly endless outdoor adventures and wildlife viewing opportunities.


NORTH PEACE


The impressive Rocky Mountains and their foothills dominate the North Peace, comprising roughly 8 million ha (20 million acres) of land. The Northern Rocky Mountains are the largest roadless landscape south of the 60th parallel, as well as one of the richest and most varied intact large wildlife ecosystems remaining in North America. As a treat for the weary traveller in this area, visit Liard River Hot Springs for a relaxing dip in a beautiful natural setting.
