McBride

McBride (population: 660) is a charming mountain village, nestled in the wide flat-bottomed Robson Valley.

Towering mountains outline the horizon with snow-capped peaks throughout the fall, winter, and early spring. The area’s varied terrain ensures incredible hiking, camping, and bird watching during warmer months, and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in winter.

The locals really make getting to know McBride worthwhile. Friendly, helpful, welcoming, and ready for a new conversation, community members offer outstanding hospitality.

McBride is only a 45-minute drive from Mount Robson, and just two hours from Prince George. The village itself is small enough so everything is within easy walking distance.

PHOTO LEFT: Horseshoe Lake is a hidden little gem in McBride, B.C. There is a gazebo, that sits right at the lakes edge so everyone can enjoy the many and varied bird species that the Sanctuary has to offer year round. There is a picnic table so you can sit and read or have lunch amongst the serenity and beauty of the mountains. Horseshoe Lake was my own personal refuge for 22 days and nights as I spent them in my 87 year old Momma’s hospital room as she was passing away. Everyday and every night before the hospital closed I would head down to the lake to gather my emotions and reflect upon the 57 years that I had the privilege to spend with my Momma. This beautiful spot is very dear to me and I call this photo “Reflection” for many reasons.
