Situated on the Pacific coast north of Washington state, British Columbia's capital is Victoria, located at the southwestern tip of Vancouver Island, and its largest city is Vancouver. British Columbia's Coast Mountains, the Canadian Rockies and the Inside Passage's many mountainous fjords are a stunning backdrop to the flourishing outdoor adventure and ecotourism industries increasing their hold within this region.

British Columbia Scene

British Columbia has a very diverse ethnic population, with Asians forming the largest visible minority alongside many European ethnicities of the first and second generation, notably Germans, Scandinavians, Yugoslavs and Italians. The Vancouver region is a favourite destination for the sophisticated traveller, and will be the venue for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. From the cosmopolitan streets of Metro Vancouver to Whistler Village, a top ski destination, the venues for the games are spread across the region which is famous for its epic snowfalls.

Vancouver Island, ranked North America's top island to visit, lies adjacent to the Gulf Islands, alongside the Pacific coastline. It is a habitat for an incredible array of wildlife species and has become one of the world's premier locations for whale watching, bird watching, golf and fishing. Due to the importance of its diverse ecosystems, the island is mostly protected as parkland. It is bisected also by the Beaufort Mountain Range, home to one of Canada's biggest all-natural ski bases.

Further inland, and stretching northwards to the Wells Gray Provincial Park, lies an area known as the Thompson Okanagan region, famous for golf courses, orchards, ski resorts and vineyards. The region supports a great variety of outdoor activities, as well as having numerous museums and heritage sites which plot the history and pre-history of its native Aboriginal peoples who led a semi-nomadic life within its wildly varied landscape of boreal forests, mountains, waterfalls and deserts. Europeans came at first to trade furs and later established cattle ranches, farms and mining operations.

In the Kootenay Rockies region, you will find fantastic destinations for golfing, cycling, camping and canoeing. During the winter, some of the continent's finest powder skiing and snowboarding is available- choose your pace from steep giddy alpine descents to steady cross-country among breathtaking scenery. All this, and the opportunity to visit beautifully restored heritage settlements, vibrant arts communities and gold rush boomtowns.

Further north, the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region (fly to Bella Bella) is yet another lure for outdoor enthusiasts. No trip would be complete without paddling the legendary Bowron Lake Provincial Park Canoe Circuit, or seeing the volcanic mountains of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, nor the ancient hoodoos and shifting sand dunes of Farwell Canyon. Northern British Columbia has an extensive system of national and provincial parks guiding the visitor through the wonders of its flora and fauna. Some of the best examples of fossilised footprints in North America can be found in Northern British Columbia.
