About British Columbia
British Columbia is the westernmost Canadian province and it borders the Pacific ocean. The province has a diverse eco-system and landscape complete with a rainforest on the coastal islands and high rocky peaks of the continental cordilleras toward the east.
A few sought after destinations in British Columbia are Vancouver Island, the National Parks in the Rocky Mountains (Yoho, Kootenay, Glacier), Revelstoke, along with a few popular cities like Vancouver, Kelowna, and Victoria.
British Columbia is home to incredible day-hiking and backpacking trails, mountain biking, surfing, and of course world-class skiing and snowboarding.
