Princeton
A modest town in southern British Columbia where the Tulameen meets the Similkameen River, Princeton sits at the edge of the Cascade Mountains and is unusually rich for its size with a handful of cafés, restaurants, and historic churches. Once a mining and railway hub, it lies at the junction of Highways 3 and 5A, making it a practical stop for travellers moving through the Similkameen region.
