Tumbler Ridge Travel Guide

Welcome to Tumbler Ridge!

Visitors to Northern British Columbia who are looking to combine the province's glorious wilderness with a bit of history and culture need look no further than Tumbler Ridge. Located 125 km (77 mi) south of Mile Zero on the Alaska Highway, this small town is rich with history. When ancient dinosaur bones from the Triassic era were found within the town, a boom in research and discovery began in the area. Today the Tumbler Ridge Museum and Dinosaur Centre gives visitors the chance to learn about and explore the fascinating millennia when dinosaurs roamed the land.

The vast and beautiful surrounding landscape is made up mostly of lodgepole pine, trembling aspen and white spruce. The forests are home to hundreds of species of wildlife, and there are several hiking trails that allow visitors to explore the wilderness. Kinuseo Falls, located in Monkman Provincial Park, is one of the ten largest of the province. Hikers can watch as the surging waters of the Murray River plunge 60 m (197 ft) into the river bed below. With such sights and beauty close at hand, Tumbler Ridge is one of the province's premier northern destinations.
