Wildlife Viewing
magine ... a mountain goat standing on the side of the mountain - where there's nothing to stand on; a grizzly bear swiping salmon from roaring rapids; a bald eagle soaring overhead; the call of the loon... The sights and sounds of wildlife surround Smithers. From the antics of the river otter, to majesty of the bull moose - the sighting of a wild animal thrills us all. When you come to Smithers - experience the wild side of life!
