Fernie, BC Day Trip
A day trip to Fernie, BC was a perfect way to spend a Saturday when we headed out from Calgary in search of adventure, small batch local coffee and a micro-brewery on the bucket list.
Vancouver, BC
Vancouver is my favourite Canadian city after travelling across the country and seeing all the beauty in this country. The environment is picturesque in British Columbia and there is lots to do, see and eat in Vancouver. I’ve been to the city a number of times both on vacation and with work and it never gets old to me.
Some places I would suggest you check out if you visit the Vancouver area:
- Stanley Park
- Lighthouse Park
- The Vancouver Aquarium
- Grouse Mountain
- Pappa Roti Cafe (Malaysian Coffee Buns)
- Granville Island
- Gastown neighbourhood
- Capilano Suspension Bridge & Cliffwalk
- Dinasty Dumpling House
- Robson Street Shopping
- Soft Peaks Ice Cream
- Kitsilano Beach
- Parallel 49 Coffee & Lucky Doughnuts
- Nuba Lebanese Restaurant
- Al Porto Italian Restaurant
- Sweet Obsession Bakery
Revelstoke, BC – Day Trip
I need to start off by saying I LOVE British Columbia. Not necessarily the cities, people or tourist attractions any more than others but I love the trees and ocean views. The whole west coast of North America from mid California up to Northern BC has the best places for “tree bathing” if you will.
I once visited the “Boardwalk of the Cedars” near Revelstoke on a camping trip. I’ve been back numerous times since. It’s a somewhat unknown gem you just have to check out if you like the big old coastal forests as much as I do. I often miss the Redwoods in the US and Vancouver Island living in Calgary and this is my go to spot to visit that’s reasonably close by. The drive from Calgary to inland British Columbia never disappoints.
