Dinosaur Discovery Gallery - Tumbler Ridge, BC
The gallery contains displays primarily focused on interpreting regional vertebrate palaeontology including material from B.C.’s two dinosaur excavations. There are also displays on dinosaur and other vertebrate tracks and traces which make up the vast majority of the terrestrial vertebrate record of western Canada. One of British Columbia’s best-kept secrets is the massive fossil record of Triassic marine fish and reptiles from this region. Our volunteers and scientists have collaborated to bring together an impressive and rapidly growing collection of specimens for ongoing scientific research and public interpretation here in the gallery.
Our recently expanded Dinosaur Discovery Gallery contains several new and enhanced palaeontology exhibits including a full-scale re-creation of a 100 million-year-old dinosaur track environment. An interactive theatre provides several presentation options for visitors to view and learn about the pre-history of the Peace Region of British Columbia. (

Below is an in-depth breakdown of the story:
MEDIA RELEASE – 07 August 2017
MORE FOSSIL BIRD TRACKWAYS DISCOVERED NEAR TUMBLER RIDGE
Tumbler Ridge Museum Foundation
Bird fossils are not common. One of the key sources of information on birds that lived in the Age of Dinosaurs comes from fossilized bird tracks and trackways. Four such track sites, including some of the oldest known bird tracks in the world, have previously been identified within the Tumbler Ridge UNESCO Global Geopark (TRUGG) by Dr. Lisa Buckley and Dr. Richard McCrea, the palaeontologists at the Tumbler Ridge Museum Foundation’s Peace Region Palaeontology Research Centre (PRPRC).
A recent field trip yielded two more such track sites, bringing the total number of fossil bird tracks sites within the TRUGG to six, and further cementing Tumbler Ridge’s reputation as a global fossil bird-track hotspot.
On August 1st Dr. Charles Helm escorted Dr. Buckley and Dr. McCrea to a dinosaur track site he had discovered earlier this summer, as well as to one brought to his attention by local resident Rob McIntyre. In each case Dr. Buckley spent time examining the surrounding exposed rock surfaces, and each time her perseverance paid off with the discovery of a handsome avian trackway. Both specimens are in rocks of the Gates Formation, from the Cretaceous Period about 100 million years ago.
On August 5th one of these specimens was retrieved and transported to the PRPRC, where it will receive further study. The previous discoveries were incorporated into a unique and special exhibit for the public in the Dinosaur Discovery Gallery, and it is likely that these new specimens will be interpreted and exhibited once the research is complete and the resulting publication in a scientific journal has occurred.
This topic of “palaeo-ornithology” is one reason that the BC Field Ornithologists chose Tumbler Ridge and the Dinosaur Discovery Gallery for their AGM earlier this year. In 2018, the 27th International Ornithology Congress in Vancouver, BC (to be attended by thousands of delegates from around the world), already has a post-conference field trip advertised to Tumbler Ridge to visit the Dinosaur Discovery Gallery with its fossil bird tracks, the PRPRC and the TRUGG.
The scientific work done by Dr. Buckley and Dr. McCrea was one of the main factors in the designation of the TRUGG in 2014, and such ongoing research and discoveries, and the resulting interpretation and exhibits will help boost the chances of successful re-evaluation of the Geopark by UNESCO in 2018.

Mount Reesor and the Caribou Highway - Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia
Welcome to the Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark! The Mount Reesor area offers great alpine hiking close to Tumbler Ridge. Once the top of the ridge is reached, views to the south and west are superb. The ridge top is a barren stretch of brown shale known as the Caribou Highway, where many tracks and sign of the animals can be seen. The “highway” leads to the south towards Mount Reesor looming in the distance. On a good weather day this is excellent hiking, but it is prone to windy and foggy conditions. At the end of the highway, one must descend to a saddle before starting the final climb to the peak.
The route climbs up the northeastern flank of the peak, becoming a bit of a scramble over loose rock near the top. The peak of Mt Reesor is the center of a syncline or trough in the rock strata. Once on
top, there are expansive views of the high peaks of the Rockies, including the glaciated summit of Sentinel Peak to the west. (

Tumbler Ridge Golf & Country Club - Tumbler Ridge, BC - DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus
It's tee time! The Tumbler Ridge Golf & Country Club welcomes you to the most scenic and challenging course in Northern BC. Novice and experienced golfers alike enjoy the 9-hole, par 36 public golf course complete with pro shop, driving range, putting green and clubhouse.
This fully irrigated course is cut from thick, forested terrain high above the broad Murray River, and putting requires careful study. Continuous gentle breezes, natural slopes, undulating fairways and water hazards test your skill. Most of the bent-grass greens have elevated approaches and well-placed sand traps guarding them. The finishing hole is the challenging 405-yard ninth, playing up a two-level fairway to an elevated green.
