Road trip this historic highway and overnight at picturesque campsites and lodges.
Come summer in the Northern Rockies, endless rays of sunshine beam down on towering mountains, lowland marshes, rushing rivers, and a vast boreal forest. The lingering, summer light lets visitors explore longer and adds to the enchanting allure of the north.
Often called the “Serengeti of the North'' due to the abundance and diversity of wildlife species, this is one of the top places in BC to see big mammals and hundreds of different bird species. Summer is a time to dip your toes in the Muskwa River and cast a line into the jade-coloured waters of Muncho Lake. Canoe, kayak or stand-up paddleboard at Parker Lake, hike dozens of trails scattered along the Alaska Highway, or hop on an ATV and discover access routes and trails into the backcountry.
When travelling in the Northern Rockies, it’s always a good idea to plan and be prepared. Expect changing weather, long travel distances, and remote outdoor experiences. While exploring, remember to leave no trace and respect the wildlife who call this place home.
