North Thompson Valley

Travel along 330 kilometres (204 mi) of the Yellowhead Highway through North Thompson. Here, you’ll find three mountain ranges, magnificent rivers, and the world’s only temperate inland rainforest. Rich with wildlife, keep your eyes open for deer, moose, and the highest concentration of black bears in North America.

North Thompson has year round adventures for everyone. Whether you are an adrenaline junkie looking to white water raft down the Fraser River in the summer, and backcountry ski in the winter, or looking for a calm walk through the valley blanketed with blooming spring flowers, and snowshoe from your cabin in the alps, North Thompson has it all.

This region has some incredible hidden gems. The Canadian Rockies highest mountain, Mount Robson, North America's largest paddle-only lake, Murtle Lake, and Wells Gray Provincial Park composed of 46 named waterfalls including Canada’s fourth largest waterfall, Helmcken’s falls. You don’t want to miss this diverse landscape and the welcoming communities of the North Thompson.
