Terrace, a shorter distance, is a significant service and supply center.

    Prince George

    Prince George, population 74,004, is the largest hub city in northern BC. It is often referred to as the province's "Northern Capital." PG is situated at the Fraser and Nechako rivers' confluence and the crossroads of Highway 16 and Highway 97.

    Seven Sisters Provincial Park and Protected Area

    Multiple mountain goat herds reside within the park, and frequent the peaks and ridges during the summer and winter in the forests near Oliver Creek and Hells Bells Creek. Grizzly and black bears, raptors, and other birds frequent the entire Protected Area. In low-elevation forested areas, marten and fisher birds use older forests. Moose, mule deer, coyotes, and wolves use the park around natural openings, burned areas, and old logging cut blocks. The low-elevation forest between Hells Bells Creek and Oliver Creek provides mule deer winter range. Salmon pass through the lower reaches of creeks, and trout live within most lakes and streams.

    Kitwanga Mountain Provincial Park

    This Park also offers wildlife-viewing opportunities across various habitats. There are grizzly bear habitats in the subalpine and good moose habitats. Lower elevations provide excellent opportunities for migratory bird viewing.

    Skeena River

    Along the 480 km Skeena River, the Kermode bear (also known as Spirit Bear) lives near the Skeena Valley from Prince Rupert to Hazelton. The region is also home to black, brown, and grizzly bears. The river is famous for sport fishing, especially for its five different salmon species. With 5 million spawning salmon a year, the river is second only to the Fraser River in capacity to produce sockeye salmon. The river rises in the northern interior of BC and generally flows southwest into the Pacific Ocean at Chatham Sound, south of Prince Rupert.

    Recreation

    Seven Sisters Provincial Park and Protected Area

    Seven Sisters Provincial Park and Protected Area offer an exceptional, natural setting for a wide variety of recreational activities. Hiking and snowmobiling are two popular front and backcountry activities. Beautiful glaciers top these mountains. Several trails run from Highway 16, including Oliver Creek Trail, Watson Lakes Trail, Hell's Bells Trail, Cedarvale Trail, Whiskey Creek Trail, and Coyote Creek Trail. These trails offer a wide variety of experiences.

    • Families with young children and novice hikers can easily reach the scenic lakeside picnic/camping site 1 km along the Watson Lake Trail.
    • The Cedarvale Trail offers a half-day trip to treeline and mountain goat viewing.
    • Oliver and Whiskey Creek Trails provide more challenging hikes to the treeline and access to backcountry routes.
    • Snowmobilers can travel to an alpine basin along Flint Creek Road, the Hell's Bells Trail, and the upper Oliver Creek Trail.
    • Mountaineers use Coyote Creek Road, Flint Creek Road, and Oliver Creek Trail to reach Weeskinisht Peak. Oliver Creek Road (the southernmost entrance from Cedarvale) is an old mining road leading to a spectacular, unspoiled alpine basin where 'small footprint' camping is permitted.
    Kitwanga Mountain Provincial Park

    The Kitwanga Mountain Provincial Park offers an environment unto its own. The mountain top is above the treeline and remains in a perfectly natural state. The reward is an excellent view of the Seven Sisters Peaks and throughout the Skeena Valley for those who hike the trail.

    • Hiking to the timberline viewpoint is steep, but the trail is clear and in good condition.
    • Horseback riding is not permitted on the trail due to the steep inclines, but is allowed in other lower areas of the park.
    • Wilderness, backcountry, and alpine camping are permitted.
    • Mountain biking is limited to roadways.
    Skeena River

    The Skeena River is a mighty river that originates south of the Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park in the northwestern region and flows to the Pacific Ocean. Five species of salmon thrive in this River, along with steelhead. Taking in the beauty of the whole Skeena Valley by fishing, boating, floating, or paddling provides an excellent way to relish the day.

    History

    Historically, the Kitwanga or Gitwangak ("people of the place of rabbits" in the Gitxsan language) had long been a trade center for the northwest First Nations cultures and the settlers that pioneered the Kitwanga valley. Today, the culture and history of Gitwangak are on display at Gitwangak Battle Hill National Historic Site in the Kitwanga Valley. The surrounding area is rich in First Nations history and is home to up to 50 totem poles.

    The Seven Sisters Mountain range has stimulated interest in mineral exploration since the late 1920s. Discoveries included veins with gold, silver, lead, and zinc, all in the headwaters of Oliver Creek. Several log cabins facilitated exploration at the time. Exploration continued from 1968 to 1983, including aeromagnetic, gravity, magnetic, and geochemical surveys, as well as trenching to expose bedrock in areas of interest. The only remnant of the area's mining exploration history is the roads (Oliver Creek Trail and Coyote Creek Trail) and a few dilapidated buildings outside the Protected Area at the abandoned Magnetron Site on the Coyote Creek Trail.

    Established in 1997, the Kitwanga Mountain Provincial Park has 1,800 acres north of Cedarvale. The mountains are in the Nass Range near Kitwanga. The trail was rebuilt through a joint project by BC Parks and volunteers from Round Square International Schools at Soaring Spirits Camp.

    The Skeena River is the second-longest River entirely within BC, after the Fraser River. Historically, the Skeena has been a vital transportation artery, particularly for the Tsimshian and the Gitxsan, whose names mean 'inside the Skeena River' and 'people of the Skeena River. The river and its basin sustain many fish, wildlife, and vegetation, and communities native to the area depend on the river's health.
