Snowshoeing in the Ancient Forest of Northern BC

I hadn’t been to this unique park in the winter yet. One of my little sisters tagged along with me for this day trip. I wasn’t sure if the ancient forest could get anymore beautiful and peaceful than it already is, but it managed to do just that.
My younger sister and I left the Prince George in the morning and drove east for approximately an hour to the Ancient Forest/Chun T’oh Whudujut Provincial Park and Protected Area. Winter would be my second favourite season, next to summer, and this park is stunning in all four. Looking at these photos one can tell that this new British Columbia provincial park is beautiful. Towering ancient cedars and hemlocks, a waterfall, different types of moss and part of the trail is wheelchair accessible, just not during the winter.

If these photos don’t inspire someone to pick up a pair of snowshoes to explore the Ancient forest, then I don’t know what will.
