Features: The Babine Mountains at the Smithers end of the Back Road are impressive. Babine Lake is very picturesque and Granisle is an excellent stop over to explore the lake. The rest of the Back Road winds through logging cut blocks and rolling forest lands without a good view. But if you wish to visit Granisle, why not see a bit more of the country and make it a loop rather than driving the Granisle Road from Topley up and back. Watch for wildlife, especially in the morning and evening.   Tour Length: Two hours drive from Topley to Granisle to Smithers. Another hour drive on Highway 16 to complete the loop. Take the day so that you have time to stop and explore.
