Mackenzie

Mackenzie is nestled between the Rocky and Omineca Mountains. The community is known for its recreation and industry. The townsite, established by Alexandra Forest Industries and Cattermole Timber, was named for Sir Alexander Mackenzie. Mackenzie is a 2 hour drive North of Prince George. 

Mackenzie may be one of BC's youngest towns, but for the geological landscape that surrounds it, that is not the case. The Rocky Mountains were formed over 50 million years ago. The Rocky Mountain Trench, in which Mackenzie sits, is a unique and bizarre geological formation. If you get the chance, check it out for yourself!
