The
Robson Valley is a geographic region of the Canadian province of
British Columbia, comprising the section of the
Rocky Mountain Trench that lies southeast of
the city of Prince George following the
Fraser River to the
Yellowhead Pass. The name is derived from
Mount Robson, which stands near the entrance to the Yellowhead Pass. Communities in the Robson Valley include the settlements of Dome Creek, Crescent Spur,
Dunster, and
Tête Jaune Cache, with larger population concentrations in the villages of
McBride and
Valemount. On a map, the Robson Valley is located immediately south of the elbow in the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia. Transportation corridors through the Robson Valley include the
CN rail lines, and Highways 16 and 5.
