The Ancient Forest/Chun T’oh Whudujut Park and Protected Area is British Columbia’s newest park and is quickly becoming one of the “must do” parks to see and hike in British Columbia.

Nestled in the traditonal territory of the Lheidli T’enneh, the Park protects a portion of the only inland temperate rainforest in the world. Hiking the Ancient Forest trail will bring you past thousand year old western red cedars and a rich biodiversity of plants, mosses, lichens and fungi.
The 450 metre long universal access boardwalk provides the opportunity for people with all abilities to experience this majestic area. Another 2.3 km of boardwalk provides access to magnificent “Big” Tree, Tree Beard, Radies Tree and a beautiful cascading waterfall.

PHOTO LEFT: There is something to be said about seeing life through the eyes of a dog, and this amazing boy has taught me about appreciating the little things in life. This is Walter. He is my adventure buddy, my hiking partner, my bear protector. Here we are marveling in the Ancient Forest, one of PG’s incredible spots just a short drive from the city, where paradise can be found.

PHOTO RIGHT: Fang Mountain is one of the best hikes to do in the Prince George region. It is a challenging hike, located in the Evanoff Provincial Park, with fascinating views of the surrounding range. I recommend going in the summer to camp and enjoy the wildlife, a great spot to see mountain goat!

PHOTO LEFT: After a 2 hour drive past lakes and rivers on winding back roads east of Prince George you reach the trailhead for Fang Peak. The climb is varied and scenic. Awaiting you are caves, hanging valleys, soaring vistas and jewel lakes amidst grassy meadows. Stand atop your own little piece of the world and be in the moment.
