5 Day Trip

Dawson Creek is where culture and wilderness collide. Visitors to this hub can see the Mile 0 landmark of the world-famous Alaska Highway, stroll downtown shops, dine at locally-owned restaurants, and visit museums and galleries. Don’t miss a side trip to see the Pouce Coupe trestle bridge.

See the first curved wooden bridge ever built in Canada and one of very few still standing today. Visitors can stand below at Kiskatinaw Provincial Park and marvel at this three-span, timber-truss engineering wonder before cooling off with a swim in the Kiskatinaw River.

The heart of Peace Country. Wander this city—the largest in Northeast BC—on the Pioneer Pathway Walking Tour, visit the Fort St. John North Peace Museum, and view local art at the Indigenous Artists’ Market. Just north of town, nature lovers can explore Charlie Lake and Pink Mountain provincial parks and view Sikanni Chief Falls.

This “Playground of the Peace” is where adventurous souls and outdoor enthusiasts can get their kicks. Fishing, boating, climbing, biking, hiking, horseback riding, and more can be found around this tiny town. Don’t miss the Hudson’s Hope Museum to see long lost artifacts and dinosaur fossils.

This town is best known for its famous streets, lined with wood-carvings made with chainsaws. The area is also home to a bounty of freshwater lakes for fishing, riverside recreation sites, and picturesque campgrounds.

Explore more than 25 Geosites—from dinosaur tracks to cascading waterfalls to unique rock formations—in the only UNESCO Global Geopark in Western Canada. This off-the-beaten path wilderness playground is a top destination for hikers, climbers, and outdoor adventure seekers.
