BC bucketlist
 

Members here always have great suggestions, so I'm asking where do you suggest is worth visiting in British Columbia ?

To get things started...

Victoria - Butchart Gardens, royal museum,
Whistler
Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands)
Parks - Glacier, Yoho, Kootenay
Okanagan Valley - Kelowna, wineries
Tofino/Ucluelet - Pacific Rim park
Meares Island - Freedom Cove
Revelstoke - The Enchanted Forest (for kids)
Pemberton - Joffre Lakes
Sunshine Coast - Sechelt
Lussier Hot Springs (Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park)
Port Renfrew
Salt Spring Island
Osoyoos
Nimmo Bay
Cranbrook
Muskwa-Kechika
Stratchcona park - Della Falls (Canada's tallest waterfall)
Botanical Beach - Juan de Fuca park

Well, you've scratched the surface. Here are a few more:

Wells Gray Provincial Park (waterfalls)
Prince Rupert & Highway 16 leading to it
Cariboo-Chilcotin Region (Gold Rush history, cowboy country)
Barkerville (more Gold Rush history)

We may be visiting Kelowna in September. Does Kelowna have mountainous scenery? We like taking walks with mountain views. Photos I've seen of Kelowna seem to show hills, rather than mountains.

You are right, the terrain there is more hilly, than mountainous. However, the Okanagan area is known as lake country so there are gorgeous vistas with lakes in the foreground and the hills as the backdrop.
The area also has many very good wineries.

If you want stunning mountain scenery then Vancouver or Whistler will give you that, or pretty much anywhere on the coast really.

Thanks, raincity.girl for your kind reply.

Yoho's Lake O'Hara hits our travelin' G-Spot every time.
I am done. The end.

We absolutely loved Victoria - enjoyed having afternoon tea at The Empress and whale watching; Butchart Gardens was well worth our time - really beautiful.

Victoria:

The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria (AGGV) whose collection is larger than Vancouvers and has a very large amount of both japanese and chinese, scrolls, woodblock prints and textiles as it was the first pacific port. the museum is a 10 minute bus ride from DT. in the vicu=inity are also craigdarrick castkle and the gorgeous gardens at government house. about another 5 minutes east gets you to the lovely Abkahzi Gardens, a beautiful site specific monument to enduring love. from their if you like to walk head up Gonzales Hill where you wuill find stunning views of the DT, juan de fuca olympic mountains

the newish blue bridge is quite beautiful with walkways ion both sides, . the south facing the inner harbour, with all its' daytime activity: boats, kayaks, ships wate rtaxis ferries float planes has viewing platforms at both ends. it's bathed in beautiful blue light at night.

you can walk along the westbay walkway from the bridge to the far west end of the harbour again with views of activity on the water, the olympic mountains and on clear days mt baker!. it's level as is the walkway on the cliffs where beacon hill park meets the ocean again stunning views and lots of happy dogs!
