| Prince Rupert is located on the northwest
coast of British Columbia at the western end of the Yellowhead Highway
16, 30 miles (48 km) south of southeast Alaska, approximately 90 miles
(145 km) from Terrace, and 453 miles (725 km) west of Prince George.From
Prince Rupert harbour, the third largest ice-free harbour in the world,
the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system carries visitors up the coast to
ports on the Alaska panhandle, and further north, and across the Hecate
Strait to the breathtaking Queen Charlotte Islands. Travellers heading
south can hop aboard The Queen of the North for the scenic journey through
the Inside Passage and Discovery Passage to Vancouver Island. Travelling
east, you can drive the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 16) toward Prince George,
or hop aboard Via Rail's Skeena Train for a romantic railroad trip to Jasper,
Alberta with an overnight stop in Prince George.
Prince Rupert's natural deepwater harbour handles significant volumes of commercial traffic as well, with ocean-going freighters from all over the world loading cargoes of grain, lumber, pulp, mineral ore, sulphur and coal destined for international markets. It is interesting to note that Prince Rupert is closer to Japan than to Vancouver! The port's importance will increase as Pacific Rim trade grows.
