Northern Rockies: Nature and Culture on a Broader Scale
The wider Northern Rockies destination offers additional perspectives through more landscapes and activities. Stone Mountain Park encompasses 25,691 hectares of remote, mountainous terrain along the Alaska Highway in the northern Rocky Mountains. Two trails offer different route options: the Erosion Pillars Trail is just over 1 km long and suitable for a range of fitness levels. The Summit Peak Trail is a 5 km loop through a lodgepole pine forest. This makes it possible to compare a shorter route with a longer loop.
Wildlife viewing is also part of the region’s nature experiences. Caribou and Stone Sheep can be seen along the Alaska Highway in Stone Mountain Park; the Alaska Highway corridor through Muncho Lake Park is also a good place to see northern wildlife. Northern Rocky Mountains Park is the third-largest provincial park in British Columbia and the largest park in the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area. Its high-quality habitat is home to moose, elk, Stone Sheep, and mountain goats.
The wider destination also offers a variety of ways to enjoy the water. The deep, cold, mineral-rich jade-colored waters of Muncho Lake stretch for 12 km; swimming is allowed there. Canoeing and kayaking are available in Muncho Lake Park. Summit Lake in Stone Mountain Park is ideal for peaceful canoe trips. Visitors can bathe in Alpha Pool at Liard River Hot Springs Park; the pool has a shallow area for children.
