Driftwood Canyon

About the Park

Driftwood Canyon is a great stop to explore one of the world’s most significant fossil beds in a peaceful, creek-side setting, only a 20 -minute drive through the beautiful Bulkley Valley from Smithers or Telkwa . There is a foot bridge and trail leading to a viewing platform and interpretive trail leading to the fossil bed outcropping.
