Northern BC is a vast land of rugged, nearly untouched wilderness. Wherever you travel in the region, there are boundless opportunities to marvel at the wildlife and the views. National and provincial parks provide protective habitats for the many species of birds that breed, migrate or stay throughout the winter months in the north.

In Northern BC's vast valleys and extensive mountain ranges it's quite common to glimpse Black or Grizzly Bears and Caribou as well as Bald Eagles swooping down from the sky. An abundance of marine life -whales, sea lions, porpoises and sea birds- are in residence off the mainland coast and Queen Charlotte Islands. Everywhere there are wonderful walking and hiking trails that lead to spectacular views of the natural terrain.
