Experience Northern B.C.
Prince George, BC- We all know B.C. is “Super Natural” but Northern B.C. offers more.
University of Northern B.C. is offering four different tourism trips that are designed for those with a sense of adventure and a hunger to learn.
Experiential Tourism trips have been arranged for those who want to :
- “Walk with Dinosaurs” at Tumbler Ridge with palaeontologists Rich McCrea and Lisa Buckley
- “Photography from a jet boat”
- “Tour B.C.’s Northwest hot springs” with hot springs author Glenn Woodsworth
- “Explore Northern B.C. Ghost towns” with special access and behind the scenes tours of three remote ghost towns off the BC coast..
"Experiential travel is the single biggest trend in tourism worldwide and we are thrilled that UNBC is providing unique opportunities to explore northern BC" says Anthony Everett, CEO of Northern BC Tourism.
“The UNBC Continuing Studies Experiential Tourism programs are different than those offered at other Canadian universities, in that we are bringing participants to our region as opposed to sending them off to other parts of the world.” says Rob Bryce, UNBC Continuing Studies Coordinator, “We feel northern BC has incredible locations to showcase and we want to bring people here to experience it. Some of the sites we visit are so exclusive that the only way you can experience them is through these trips. We have been granted special access and behind-the-scenes tours of three remote Ghost Towns off the BC coast.”
Anyone curious about the UNBC trips is invited to attend an information session. There is one set for March 13th at Books and Company on Third from 7-8 pm. And one in Terrace on March 24th at Cafenara from 7-8 p.m.

I have to say, 3 of those 4 trips I think would be very interesting to me. No real interest in the hot springs option, but the others sound pretty cool!
Hmmm, I wonder if those would be considered “tourism assets”?
Why not start here and take your tour to the Ancient Forest! Make it a day trip with lunch or dinner at the restaurant at Purden! Where else can you see an Inland rain Forest with 2000 year old cedars?
The Ancient Forest is worth the short drive from P.G.
Looking at a map PG is in the middle of the province. I guess according to 604 anything north of Hope is “The North”. Carry on.

==================================
People in PG have been perpetuating that myth for decades (University of NORTHERN BC, NORTHERN Capital of BC, etc. Carry on.
Universities are in the travel business now? …hmm..alriiighty then.
âTour B.C.âs Northwest hot springsâ
Mount Layton Hot springs between Terrace/Kitimat has been shut down by the health dept due to the slime growing to deep.
Missing from this list are: the many First Nation cultural tourism sites; Kasan Indian Village, Kispiox totem poles and longhouses.
Also Ft. St. James National Historic Site, ancient pictographs on the cliffs along Stuart Lake and Babine Lakes. PG Exploration Place, just to name a few…
People#1…Still not “north”. North sounds sooooo romantic, inviting, and adventurous and unexplored. “Mid- province”? Meh. Not so much.
Totem poles? Nah! Try Stanley Park in Vancouver. AND in keeping with tradition, they’re made out of fibreglass. Cool, eh?
