Companion Tour

 The companion tour on Friday will set out at 8:45 am for a drive into the country to an artisan bakery. Their coffee and goodies will tempt you to bring home a little something for the ones who stayed behind to work. From the bakery you’ll move on to an organic vegetable farm along the Bulkley river. A beautiful setting and depending on the weather, an interesting walk around. Lunch will be offered back at the venue at 11:00 am and by now you’ll have had enough of the delicious Alpen Horn fare to be looking forward to it.

Smithers has the best shopping in the central interior drawing customers from Prince Rupert to Prince George. Our Main St. was recently given a Peoples’ Choice award by Canadian town planners for the nicest main street in small town Canada and the afternoon tour will include visits to some of the variety of shops that contributed to the accolade. The lingerie shop attracts people from Vancouver looking for quality and style.

We’ll complete the afternoon with a tour of a brand new Craft Brewery where they’re working on northern specialties made from locally grown hops. It’s a crop that has adapted well to the climate here.
