Shift Gears in the Steelhead Capital

Houston is no longer just a stopover; it’s the rising star of Northern BC’s Highway 16 riding corridor. Nestled between legendary neighbours, this vibrant community is carving out its own reputation as a premier mountain bike destination. At the heart of the action is the Mount Harry Davis Trail Network, a vertical playground where high-speed flow meets rugged technicality. Every climb is rewarded with panoramic views of the Bulkley Valley, offering a sense of scale and solitude you won't find at more crowded hubs.

Beyond the dirt, Houston delivers a world-class multi-sport experience where you can shred pristine singletrack in the morning and cast for trophy fish in the "Steelhead Capital" by afternoon. With its authentic mountain culture and expanding trail system, Houston offers an adventure experience that is redefining its future.
