Houston (/ˈhjuːstən/ ⓘ HEW-stən) is a forestry, mining and tourism town in the Bulkley Valley of the Northern Interior of British Columbia, Canada.

Houston's tourism industry is largely based on ecotourism and Steelhead Park, situated along Highway 16.

In 1880, Morice came to British Columbia as a Catholic missionary to the native people and was one of the first 'white men' to see most of the area.

The Morice River is called "Wet-zuhn-kwa" by the Wet'suwet'en people because of the bluish-green colour of the water.

The delta was channelled and dyked which probably led to the downfall and destruction of important, rearing habitat of young salmon produced in that stream.

The area is in a rain shadow of the Coast Mountains, however due to being dominated by a low pressure region, Houston receives a mid-range volume of precipitation annually.

Nearby communities: Houston has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) with mild summers and cold winters.

Being in a rain shadow of the coastal mountains, Houston has a quite dry climate with relatively uniform precipitation year-round.

The Houston Hikers' Society provides website where trail information, maps, photos and driving directions can be accessed.

The ski trails are situated 8 km (5 mi) south of Houston on Buck Flats Road.

Skiing enthusiasts are able to explore over 45 km (28 mi) of challenging and beginner trails covering a rolling topography around Silverthorne Lake.

This basin lies on the eastern slope of the Coastal Mountain Range and forms the upper watershed of the Morice-Bulkley rivers.

The recently constructed Houston Leisure Facility holds a pool, hot-tub, sauna and fitness gym.

Jamie Baxter Park was named after a boy that disappeared in the forest while playing in the Buck Flats area in the late 1970s.
