TRAVEL INFORMATION

Once you get to Smithers, BC, we will transport you to camp via a charted flight, at no charge. We've included some valuable information detailing preferred ways of getting to Smithers BC below:

Smithers Airport has multiple air connections daily with
Air Canada or Hawkair from Vancouver International Airport. Fly over the breath-taking scenery of the towering costal mountain ranges split by verdant valleys and jeweled lakes to reach our little mountain town. Smithers is also on the “main line” of Canadian National Railways and is served by Via Rail,several times a week from Prince George and Prince Rupert. Aboard the train, you’ll be treated to some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the world—the mighty Nechako and Skeena Rivers; the Hudson Bay Glacier and numerous mountain ranges.

It's easy to get there by road and we've got highway directions listed below.

By Highway:

We are located in the HEART of BC: on Canada’s ‘other’ Trans Canada Highway – the Yellowhead Trans Canada or “Highway 16”, 370 km/222 miles west of Prince George; and 350 km/218 miles from the Port of Prince Rupert on the Pacific Ocean. This makes Smithers easy to find if you’re coming from anywhere in BC, Alberta, the U.S. or eastern Canada.

If you choose the “Cruise and Drive” aboard BC Ferries or Alaska Marine Service, you’re in for a wonderful treat. After disembarking at Prince Rupert, follow Route 16 East along the mighty Skeena River where you may get a glimpse of seals and sea lions feeding on salmon. Prepare yourself for a breathtaking panorama as you drive through the Hazleton mountains enroute to Smithers. Look for the fabled “Seven Sisters” near Cedarvale. Soon, you’ll see the Bulkley River—rushing on its way to meet the Skeena at Hazleton-- it will smash through a narrow gorge where fishermen strain under the weight of 70 lb salmon. You can find road distances TO and FROM Smithers at Expedia's web site.
