Prince Rupert is positioned on the northern coast of British Columbia, only 40 miles south of the Alaska border. This Canadian province is thus full of outdoor wonder. From invigorating mountains to lush forests, there are ample opportunities to connect with nature. Prince Rupert also has a diverse wildlife presence. Located in a temperate forest, Prince Rupert is known as the City of Rainbows. While that means frequent rain, there’s also boundless beauty waiting on the other side.
Early summer (June to July) is a great time to visit Prince Rupert, as there’s less rainfall and milder weather than in other Canadian provinces.
