The
Peace River - Alaska Highway
is a diverse region of Northern
BC with mountains, prairies and plateaus. The Rocky Mountain Trench
lies to the west and borders the stunning Rocky Mountains. These mountains
give way to a gradual slope that leads to the vast prairies on the
Alberta border.
An
abundance of big
game such as grizzlies, black bear, deer, caribou, elk and the
stone ram are found within this region. Fishing
is also very popular in the Peace River/Alaska Highway region, where
you will find a variety of game
fish such as rainbow and lake trout, northern pike, Arctic grayling,
Dolly Varden, mountain whitefish and walleye.
There
are vast forests,
great scenery, spectacular
campsites, wildflowers,
birds,
Northern Lights and abundant history. There's evidence that dinosaurs
once roamed in this region, which accounts for the oil, natural gas
and coal which are the main resources. Forestry, agriculture and tourism
are other important industries. Take the road to adventure
and enjoy the Peace River - Alaska Highway route through Northern
British Columbia.
