Prince Rubert, Canada

[Meltiphil]

Can someone tell what to do in Prince Rubert, Canada? This is our last stop bf returning back to Seattle then home. So far we have a car rented but no plans of what to do. Thanks for any replies:)

How long are you there? Some ships only give 5 hours.

Other than right in Prince Rupert and a short drive to Port Edward to the south (where there is a great Cannery exhibit) there is one road in and out of Rupert. Terrace is about 2 hours up along the Skeena River and some nice secenery if the weather is good.

 

We had a joke about Terrace. You can probably figure it out if you pronouce the name real slowly.....

If you like nature, take the trail to the Butze Reversing Rapids just about 5 miles out of town. The trail is three miles and it's just beautiful. There is a look out for the reversing tides. The rapids change direction based on the tides. There are a couple of nice places to stop on the road as well. We just got back last week and the weather was very nice. Find the RCMP store it has a giant booblehead Mounted Policeman. The shopowners are very helpful, too!

We picked this stop for whale watching since there is a partial refund if no whales are to be seen and there did not seem to be much else to do at that port.

 

Cheers
