British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province, is defined by its Pacific coastline and mountain ranges, which are truly beautiful. Nature areas like Glacier National Park offer hiking and biking trails, as well as campgrounds. Whistler Blackcomb is a major ski resort that hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics. The scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway links Whistler with Vancouver, a city known for its film industry, at the province’s southern U.S. border.
It’s exciting! You’re on your way to the Bahamas, and the name alone already conjures up visions of seas, sun, sand, and island pleasures.
