There is still a chance to enjoy the fall colours in and around Prince George!
One spectacular place to head outside to ‘get away from it all’ is the
Forests For The World, located atop Cranbrook Hill by the University of Northern British Columbia.
This interpretive forest has over 15 kilometers of trails to choose from to explore. One such trail is an easy fifteen minute walk around Shane Lake. A leisurely stroll down a dirt trail, through a carpet of yellow and golden leaves leads to the floating dock on the lake. It is not uncommon to view wildlife here, including ducks and moose!
A slightly longer (approx. twenty minutes one-way) and steeper incline leads to a wooden lookout point that boasts a 180 degree view of Prince George. The lookout provides interpretive signage highlighting distant mountain peaks, the glacier formed cutbanks and local industry.
This hike is suitable for your family and leashed dog. Be sure to pack your camera to capture all the colours and shades of fall.
