(Anon that’s going to BC in a couple weeks) I’m going up as far as cariboo mountains pp, I’ll be hitting the okanagan valley and I also plan on going to Victoria island and visiting Tofino.
ooo okay, i can only speak for the island (it’s vancouver island not victoria island btw, victoria is the capital city on the island) and vancouver outskirts but i’ve got some places to share.
vancouver area -
head up to pemberton/whistler and hike Joffre Lakes. it’s a grind but it’s beautiful. there are tons of hikes in that area but that’s the only one i’ve done and i highly recommend.
i haven’t been yet but Lynn Canyon looks real nice. there’s a suspension bridge and waterfalls and natural pools.
Capilano suspension bridge is like a whole forest full of suspension bridges and they’re covered in lights at night and it looks super cool.
Golden Ears provincial park is great for some beautiful forest hikes and scenic mountainscapes.
vancouver island -
you’re already going to Tofino so that’s great, definitely the most important place to visit here.
but on the way up to Tofino i would recommend stopping at Little Qualicum Falls. it’s one of my favourite waterfalls. you could stop at Englishman River Falls too if you have time (they’re very close).
Goldstream Provincial Park is also on the way up island and is a staple of the island. everyone here grows up going to goldstream all the time. if you go through the big tunnel that runs under the highway there’s a very tall waterfall called Niagara Falls that’s worth seeing for sure. there’s another waterfall called Goldstream Falls that you can access from Goldstream Campsite which is on the other side of the highway (you’ll have to google it).
Mount Work is a good hike for the Victoria area. not so grand as the cariboo but has good views of the area.
East Sooke Park is nice for an oceanside hike.
Butchart Gardens is a world famous huuuge garden that isn’t far from Victoria. it’s super beautiful and i would definitely recommend it.
