    Tips

    November 8, 2025

    The Farwell Canyon Sand Dunes are one of British Columbia’s most impressive inland dune systems. Shaped by ancient glacial meltwaters and ongoing winds, the dunes rise high above the river valley, creating a rare semi-arid landscape of rolling sand and sparse vegetation. The area holds cultural significance for the Tsilhqot’in people and offers sweeping views of the canyon’s layered cliffs, sagebrush slopes, and the turquoise Chilcotin River below.
