Aerial view of an Ocean Inlet in a modern city, Prince Rupert, BC

The city I love is Prince Rupert. This small city is located on the ocean on the way to Alaska. It has beautiful nature and many trails for walking, it is surrounded by mountains, forests, and bays. There are many opportunities for active recreation: skiing, kayaking, and fishing, which attracts adventure and sports lovers.

In winter, it is always warmer here than on the mainland. It rains 300 days a year. Prince Rupert is rich in history and cultural heritage associated with the local Aboriginal peoples. About 10 tribes live on Kaien Island, where this town is located. I like this small city because I can walk around this town without a car.
