Begin your journey with a brief ride aboard an air-conditioned motorcoach. Along the way, your guide will offer insight into the history of Prince Rupert and the surrounding communities.
Upon arrival at a trailhead in the Butze Rain Forest, set off on a hike deep into the forest. Part of the fun will be learning about the various plants and trees, their importance in traditional native medicines and culture, and their role in the food chain.
Approximately halfway through the hike, you'll stop to rest at a viewpoint overlooking the Butze Rapids. The rapids here reverse direction and change character with the tides — all is peaceful at high and low tide, but in between times, the rapids roar with white foam.
Enjoy a snack and bottled water at the rapids before returning to the trailhead and to downtown Prince Rupert.
Notes:
Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes. Participants must be able to sustain a moderate walking pace over the duration of the hike. The walking trail is approximately 2.8 miles round trip with some steep inclines. Although it is a rainforest, the canopy keeps the trail relatively dry on rainy days. The volume of water at the rapids varies.
