Hi i will be in BC for 3 weeks in Feb 2004. I will be travelling with a friend and we plan on going to Vancouver, Whistler, Victoria, Mt Washington (ski trip with friends from Victoria). I was wondering if anyone could suggest any other places that r must see. We r fairly open to suggestions we enjoy nature so we are keen to be in the mountains and also to travel around Vancouver Island. Thank you

Pacific Rim National Park - if you are a nature lover - is awesome in February. The Pacific is stormy and incredibly powerful. Just stay well away from the shore - one of those enormous waves could sweep you away.
But it's a wonderful place to visit - I would recommend it. (stay in Tofino or Ucluelet).

Just returned from Vancouver and a few of the fun things we did were Stanley Park, Granville Island, Queen Elizabeth Park, and Butchart Gardens in Victoria. They were all great - plan on at least a couple of hours at each one.

The Sechelt area - just a ferry ride north of Vancouver. Lovely scenery, nice little towns and some of the best sunsets I have ever seen.

another vote for the tofino area.
