| The
Islands - Vancouver Island and the BC Gulf Islands |
 |
Full
of beauty and natural splendour, the islands
offer magnificent rain forests, towering mountains,
sparkling blue seas, remote shell beaches,
and secluded bays. Vancouver Island is the
jewel of the Pacific Northwest and Canada,
matched only by the cool Mediterranean climate,
and pastoral vistas of the Gulf Islands. |

| Vancouver,
Whistler and the Coast Mountain Region |
 |
Backdropped
by the Evergreen Coast Mountains, Vancouver
is one of the most desirable cities on the
planet to explore. Sea to Sky Country offers
quiet hikes through deep forests, and world-famous
Whistler. And then there's the Mighty Fraser
Country, one of the world's greatest salmon-producing
river systems. |

| Thompson
Okanagan - Okanagan Valley and the Shuswap |
 |
Tucked
away in Central British Columbia, the Thompson
Okanagan is one of the world's most beautiful
and pristine places. The choice of outdoor
recreations is dizzying, with dozens of parks
surrounding the adventure playground of Okanagan
Lake. To put it simply, this is one area worth
spending some serious time in. |

The
British Columbia Rockies region is a sumptuous

provincial parks. The Purcell, Selkirk and
Monashee mountain ranges stand defiantly in
parallel with the Rocky Mountains, offering
unlimited recreation and adventure in all
seasons. |

Billy
Barker's discovery of gold on Williams Creek
in 1862 sparked a rush of adventurers from
around the world. Prospectors seeking gold
have been replaced by visitors in search of
guest ranches, and thousands of pristine lakes,
rivers and streams. Fishing rods, kayaks,
rafts and skis have replaced gold pans and
gold dust. |

| Northern
BC and the Queen Charlotte Islands |
 |
The mythical and elusive Queen Charlotte Island
and the vast wilderness area of Northern BC
are rich and unspoiled masterpieces of nature.
Rugged mountain ranges, dramatic canyons,
rivers thick with salmon, old-growth forests,
and an abundance of wildlife all abound in
a place where people are scarce, but the exploits
plentiful. |
