The
province offers numerous provincial and private park areas, and
recreation-based resorts and lodges. From excursion cruises to a
backyard porches or man-made viewing platform, you can view the
many species of animals and birds, that inhabit British Columbia.
In the late summer and fall, salmon surge through the river systems
as they head for their traditional spawning grounds.
The topography varies immensely, from the Rocky Mountains in the
west to the Interior Plains, and the Coastal Waterways. This is
an area of big skies, wild valleys, mountains and rivers, and an
immense variety of wildlife.
The outstanding recreational opportunities include fishing, whale-watching,
rock-climbing, wildlife viewing, and high quality hiking and mountain-biking
trails, or just spending quiet nights around the campfire.
