Year-round ActivitiesTumbler Ridge's many annual festivals and events and endless seasonal recreation opportunities promise year-round entertainment. Run the Emperor's Challenge, a mountainside half-marathon, take in some music at the GRIZFEST outdoor music festival, participate in the Tumbler Ridge Golf & Country Club tournament, watch mushers race to the finish at the Wolverine Challenge Sled Dog Race, or enter a team in a winter bonspiel.
Visit Kinuseo Falls, explore caves, or embark on a challenging multi-day backcountry hiking trip along the Monkman Pass Memorial Trail (for experienced hikers). Try angling for Arctic Grayling, Rainbow Trout, and Northern Pike in Tumbler Ridge's lakes and rivers. Winter is an equally exciting time to explore vast mountain areas by snowmobile or to cross-country ski on endless groomed trails.

In fact, Tumbler Ridge's history dates back millions of years to the time of pre-historic dinosaurs, fish, and plant life. Learn about area fossils at the Dinosaur Discovery Gallery, on dinosaur tracking tours, and at Dinosaur Camps.
