British Columbia Coast Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

False Creek runs from English Bay up to the Science Center. There's now a walking and bike path that runs completely around False Creek - from English Bay, past Yaletown, around the Science Center, and up to Granville Island and beyond. False Creek used to be Vancouver's industrial inner harbour. One-hundred years later, it has been retrofit and renovated and gentrified. Some of the architecture preserves that history. What remains now is a peaceful places where sky and sea meet. Ringed with places for coffee, places to sit and look at the sea and sky change as big and small boats move in and out of the inner harbour. #Reflections

British Columbia Coast
A trail picture from our last day on the West Coast Trail. This is at the North end of the trail. Day 5 of our 75km back-country thru-hike. We loved this hike and highly recommend it. It's challenging but beautiful. #hike #backcountry #britishcolumbia #explorecanada #beautiful #nationalpark #westcoasttrail
