Help!

I'm just starting to a bit of trip planning for a fall trip.

I'm thinking of flying into Vancouver around Sept. 22 and out on Oct 8. This is somewhat controlled by the availability of frequent flier tickets.

Is this too late in the season? We'd like to spend a good deal of time doing outdoor and wildlife things... hiking, whale cruise, seeing bears, eagles, etc.

Also, any suggestions on must see things and how long to stay in Vancouver and Victoria?

Thanks in advance!

Do a search on my gannetmusic name and you will see some recent postings about killer whale and bear watching.

Thanks Jerry...

From what I can garner, late-Sept/early-Oct is still a good time. Correct?

Thanks!

The weather at this time is usually good. It can be cool at night and there are no guarantees against rain at any time in Vancouver.

Weather on north Vancouver Island gets very much wetter from mid-September onward. This is where you want to go for orcas and grizzlies. Weather there is quite a bit different than Vancouver.

Get there the earlier the better.

Sorry -my post should have said it gets much wetter from LATE Sept onward. We've visited mid Sept and had good weather, whales and bears!
