Things To Do In British Columbia
Tidepooling at Clayquot Sound

Northwesterners know the real beauty of southwest British Columbia. Travelers in this area often pop across the border for short sojourns to Vancouver, or slip aboard ferries to Victoria. But the southwest corner of B.C. encompasses more than just grand metropolitan areas, it also has sun-toasted island beaches, vast tracks of forestland, and fierce but picturesque snowcapped mountains. Beauty of every kind meshes here and creates a year-round scenic playground. Bring a loved one. Bring the kids. Call your best friend and plan a road trip. Come taste the wine, ski the mountains, and visit some of the world’s most famous landmarks, but bring this guide with you and discover that there truly is something for everyone.
