One of my favorite trips is to fly from Prince Rupert to Terrace via the Skeena River and Hwy 16 CVA6003. Did it again yesterday in the Twin Otter. No problems, but I will be glad when Spring weather sets in.

Off from CYPR flying southeast for the inlet

The hardest part of the trip is to make sure you get the right inlet - Dixon Entrance I think

Then just fly the river. You can do the whole trip at 3500 feet and I like low and slow

Nice shots Barry!
I can see why you like that route judging by the screenshots I'm going to have to give that a whirl! "Low and slow" eh?

Sounds like a nice idea for a multi. We could then continue up the Skeena River valley up to the Seven Sisters, where I lived for a summer, then on to Smithers where the mountain has a glacier.

When I was younger I used to fish on some of those gravel bars to the west of Terrace. Some of the best fishing in the world. :)
I still miss living there. :cry:

Rob,
I just did both flights 6003 and 1025 (Terrace to Smithers) and I think between you and Barry, you have the makings for a nice multi. Maybe throw in a touch and go at Woodcock (CBQ8) so you have a reason to pass by the Seven Sisters.
