Bulkley and Telkwa Rivers in Telkwa, British Columbia.
I took the pictures on March 18, 2016.

For the people who follow me, I am sure you know that I have a fascination with rivers and mountains, big or small.

One of my favorite places to be is in Telkwa, the home of where two rivers meet and it is beautiful there. If that wasn’t enough, you have the CN Railway bridge, and a single lane road bridge almost touching one another.

Hudson Bay Mountain ski hill which is located in Smithers, British Columbia.
Also, I hope you enjoy the photos that I have taken around the beautiful
village of Telkwa, British Columbia.

Below text from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Telkwa is a village located along British Columbia Highway 16, nearly 15 kilometres (9 miles) southeast of the town of Smithers and 350 kilometres (220 miles) west of the city of Prince George, in northwest British Columbia, Canada.
Settlement in the area began around 1904 in a townsite known as Aldermere on the hill above Telkwa. Around 1907, people began to move down the hill to be closer to water supplies and the anticipated route of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.

The name Telkwa is possibly a native term for "meeting of the waters" which appropriately describes the confluence of the Bulkley and Telkwa Rivers in town.
Via Rail's Jasper – Prince Rupert train calls at the Telkwa railway station several times per week.
The history of the town can be explored at the Telkwa Museum and on a tour of the historic former town site of Aldermere. Telkwa hosts an annual barbecue and demolition derby on Labour Day weekend. The town also has Eddy Park, at the riverside with a small gazebo, right off the highway.
