3About Smithers, BC
Smithers sits along Highway 16 in the Bulkley Valley, right at the base of Hudson Bay Mountain, and makes a natural stop for anyone driving the Yellowhead between Prince George (about 370 km east) and Prince Rupert or Terrace (204 km west) on the way to the coast. Locals make quick runs to Telkwa (15 km) and Houston (65 km), and Smithers Airport is just 6 km from downtown. EV chargers are on hand for the long highway stretches. The real local landmark is the town's Bavarian-style main street, storefronts built to look alpine, a callback to the mountain backdrop that's been part of the town's identity for decades.
