Itineraries
A selection of itinerary ideas
The easiest way to explore British Columbia’s natural beauty, small towns, and wildlife is by open road. Cross the province west to east on a trip to the Canadian Rockies, or find adventure from south to north along Highway 97 and the Alaska Highway. There are scenic trips along the coast, roads that explore local food and drink scenes, and even opportunities to relax & unwind in mountain hot springs. And if you’re lucky, you’ll find a journey that takes you somewhere you never expected to go.
