Just east of the city, Mount Tabor adds another dimension to the riding experience, with a rugged mountain landscape and extensive trail opportunities.

For an easy, scenic ride, the Heritage River Trail system follows the river corridors through Prince George, including views of the Nechako and Fraser River confluence.
