            Peace River - Alaska Highway 
            is a diverse region of Northern 
            BC with mountains, prairies and plateaus. The Rocky Mountain Trench 
            lies to the west and borders the stunning Rocky Mountains. These mountains 
            give way to a gradual slope that leads to the vast prairies on the 
            Alberta border. 
          An 
            abundance of big 
            game such as grizzlies, black bear, deer, caribou, elk and the 
            stone ram are found within this region. Fishing 
            is also very popular in the Peace River/Alaska Highway region, where 
            you will find a variety of game 
            fish such as rainbow and lake trout, northern pike, Arctic grayling, 
            Dolly Varden, mountain whitefish and walleye. 
          There 
            are vast forests, 
            great scenery, spectacular 
            campsites, wildflowers, 
            birds, 
            Northern Lights and abundant history. There's evidence that dinosaurs 
            once roamed in this region, which accounts for the oil, natural gas 
            and coal which are the main resources. Forestry, agriculture and tourism 
            are other important industries. Take the road to adventure 
            and enjoy the Peace River - Alaska Highway route through Northern 
            British Columbia.
