Campbell
The Campbell corridor is lined with sparkling lakes and rivers and
expansive wilderness. Here, you'll find fewer people, plenty of wildlife,
and many scenic campgrounds. The region is crossed east/west by the
Campbell Highway - paraleling the route of the Hudson's Bay pioneer,
Robert Campbell. The Canol road travels north/south. Visitors to this
area should watch for moose, caribou, bear, lynx, wolf, red fox and Faro's
own rare species of thin-horned sheep, the Fannin.
Faro is situated
along the Tinina Trench, a broad rift in the earth's surface that acts as
a major corridor for bird and wildlife migrations. This geographic
feature makes the area an excellent destination for birders and
naturalists, particularly in spring and fall. A herd of about 100
distinctly coloured Fannin sheep lives near Faro. In the summer, the
sheep are usually at higher elevations. Wildlife viewing decks are dotted
around the region.
