British Columbia is the immense and westernmost province of Canada. Packed with miles of<br />
coastline and towering mountains, it’s the gateway to the vast northern reaches of the world’s<br />
second largest country.<br />
British Columbia is the immense and westernmost<br />
province of Canada. Packed with miles of coastline and<br />
towering mountains, it’s the gateway to the vast northern<br />
reaches of the world’s second largest country.<br />
On your way up through the province, where the terrain<br />
gets rougher and the views get wider, is a town that’s<br />
known quite rightly as “The Gateway to the North”.<br />
It was founded when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway<br />
came through the town and has been loved ever since for<br />
its fertile lands, grand forests, and abundant nature.<br />
If you need a place to stay<br />
and want the peace and<br />
tranquillity that only the<br />
mountains can offer, you<br />
need to check out the Rocky Ridge Resort. Just a few<br />
miles out of town but a million miles away from ordinary<br />
life, this beautiful collection of traditional log cabins is a<br />
simply stunning place to hang your hat.<br />
These days, Smithers and the surrounding countryside is<br />
an outdoor paradise with excellent skiing, snowboarding,<br />
and snowmobiling in the winter months, as well as hiking,<br />
biking, and fishing in the summer. If you can do it outdoors,<br />
there’s a chance that Smithers does it best.<br />
It’s not a bad place for eating and drinking either. With<br />
more than a few great places to hang out, like the excellent<br />
Smithers Brewing Co with their famous Boot Legger<br />
Brown Ale and Telly’s Grill for comfort food classics such<br />
as six hour beef brisket and baked lasagne, you won’t be<br />
short of places to visit.<br />
