THE
FRESH IDEAS
CLOSE TO HOME
Look for carved faces in the trees at Prince
George's Cottonwood Island Nature Park.
TAKE FLIGHT
BCAA Members now save an uplifting 10 per cent
on fares at Pacific Coastal Airlines. The airline flies
to 16 destinations across the province. Here are
three of our favourites to visit this fall:
1. PRINCE GEORGE
Autumn arrives with a burst of red, orange and
gold in BC's largest northern city. For the full
foliage spectrum, take a hike in Cottonwood Island
Nature Park, where trails wind along the Nechako
River and into a forest of century-old trees. Keep
your eyes peeled for faces peering back at you, too
– local artist Elmer Gunderson has carved around
15 into the bark of tree trunks along the way.
