From Mountain High to Valley Low: British Columbia`s Beauty

From the Coast Mountains, which run up Vancouver Island, and the Inside Passage along the Pacific Ocean, to the Rocky Mountains in the depths of the province’s interior, there is no end to the rugged landscape of British Columbia.

Even if you are coming to British Columbia to go whale watching off the coast, to experience the variety of wonderful restaurants and shops in Vancouver or to wander through Victoria’s classic English gardens, you are never far from the mountains and the outdoor adventures they offer.
