Why Fly to Prince George, Canada (British Columbia)?

Prince George Airport (YXS) connects to Vancouver and Calgary with Air Canada. Prince George is the gateway to some of BC’s most spectacular and least-visited wilderness — the Bowron Lake canoe circuit (one of Canada’s great canoe routes), the Ancient Forest of western redcedar (some trees over 2,000 years old), and the Bear Glacier near Stewart are all within reach.

Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit
The Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit — a 116km wilderness canoe route through a chain of interconnected lakes in the Cariboo Mountains — is one of Canada’s classic canoe trips, through extraordinary mountain scenery with wildlife including moose, black bear, and osprey.
Ancient Forest (Chun T’oh Whudujut) Park
Just 1 hour east of Prince George, the Ancient Forest Provincial Park contains western redcedar trees up to 2,000 years old and 3 metres in diameter — among the oldest living things in British Columbia, in a rainforest ecosystem far inland from the coast.
Powder King Mountain & Backcountry Skiing
Powder King Mountain Resort — 3 hours northeast of Prince George — receives over 12 metres of light powder annually and is one of BC’s best-kept ski secrets, with excellent terrain and none of Whistler’s crowds. The surrounding backcountry offers world-class snowmobiling.
Wildlife Viewing & Wilderness
Prince George’s surrounding wilderness is exceptional for wildlife — moose, grizzly bear, mountain caribou, trumpeter swans, and the rare white-phase black bear (Spirit Bear) of the Kermode population inhabit the boreal and mountain forests of central BC.
Yellowhead Highway & BC Rail Heritage
The Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) runs west from Prince George to Prince Rupert through extraordinary mountain and river scenery — the route passes through First Nations territory with remarkable cultural heritage sites along the Skeena River corridor.
