View Larger Map Situated amidst a majestic landscape dominated by the 3000-foot walls of the rugged Rocher de Boule Mountain Range, the Robbers Roost Motel is a wonderful stop off the Yellowhead Highway for visitors travelling between Prince George and Prince Rupert. It is also the last stop before the turnoff going North on the Cassiar Highway ( Highway 37) towards the Yukon border, or the first stop coming from that direction.
The Hazeltons offer an unsurpassed combination of hospitality, attractions, scenery, wilderness recreation, unique Native culture, and trophy salmon and steelhead fishing, all handy to the communities with their array of services for the visitor.
Named after the hazel bushes which paint the river-carved terraces, the towns of Old Hazelton, New Hazelton and South Hazelton are collectively known as The Hazeltons, and the Totem Pole Capital of the World.
A visit to the Hazeltons today is a journey into the historic Heartland of northwest British Columbia. Old Town Hazelton, which is only a 5 minute drive still maintains a friendly pioneer town appearance, which harkens back to the days when shrill whistles signalled the arrival of riverboats and the accompanying boisterous revellery and frontier friendliness. The arrival of the steam train in 1914 eventually changed the nature of the town.
