Map
Welcome to Terrace!
A city built deep within the thick forests and steep mountain slopes of Northern British Columbia, Terrace is a toss of spectacular landscapes and exhilarating outdoor adventure. The region features a unique terraced landscape, shaped by the glaciers that passed through thousands of years ago, which lends itself to the city's name. Located along the Skeena River, 140 km (87 mi) east of Prince Rupert, this is one of the oldest continuously occupied places in the world. In fact, long before European contact, it was one of the most densely populated areas north of Mexico. This First Nations history is fascinating and helps make Terrace the dynamic city it is today—a multicultural centre and regional hub for the northern coastal area of British Columbia. As such, there is plenty to see and do around Terrace; Mount Layton Hot Springs is just 22 km (13 mi) to the south; the country's youngest lava flow is only 80 km (50 mi) to the north; Heritage Park offers a journey through the history of Terrace's early settlers while Kitselas Canyon and the village of Kitsumkalum enable one to explore First Nation's history; and Terrace is even one of the only places to glimpse the rare Kermodei Bear.Tourist Attractions
