British Columbia Travel Guide
The often pristine scenery of British Columbia more than lives up
to most people's image of the wilds of Canada. What may come as a surprise, however, is
the region's sheer natural diversity: between the expected extremes of the mountainous,
forested interior and the fjord-cut mountains of the coast lies a jigsaw of landscapes,
including genteel farmland, ranching country, immense lakes and even a patch of genuine
desert. British Columbia contains both Canada's wettest and its driest climates, and more
species of flora and fauna than the rest of the country put together. The range of
recreational possibilities is equally impressive: the country's biggest ski area, its
warmest lakes and some of its best beaches are all here, not to mention hot springs and
hiking, sailing and canoeing galore, as well as some of the best salmon fishing in the
world. Interior towns may not always be terribly interesting - Nelson
is a notable exception - but from almost anywhere in the region you can be sure that
secluded and peaceful countryside and myriad outdoor pursuits lie just a few kilometres
away.
