Further Afield - The rest of BC
BC is a large Province. Most visitors,
especially those from outside of North America, have no
conception of its size and think they can just
"pop-over" to the Rockies in a day trip. To see
all of the province would take a couple of months, and
most people don't have that amount of time. In order to
see BC properly you really need to rent a car or a
camper. You can do it using the "Moose Network"
bus described in my transportation section, but if your
not the backpacker type of traveller, renting a car or RV is
your best bet. If you want to get to the more remote areas, consider renting a Truck Camper. I have divided the Province into 4 or 5
general regions and given a brief description of each,
plus plenty of links to take you to web sites with more
detailed information on specific areas. I have also
described what is, in my opinion, the best driving route
to take if you have 10 days to 2 weeks to explore the
Province (not including Vancouver Island or the far
north.
