The first thing you need to know about North Vancouver is that it is a different city from Vancouver. Despite the similar names, the charming city of North Vancouver is known for the parks and beautiful natural landscapes that the region offers.

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
The oldest tourist attraction in the city, opened in 1889, is the park Capilano, a 'must see' in North Vancouver. The photos fail to portray the immensity of the canyon and the rainforest trees that make up the local scenery.
A suspension bridge 130 meters long and 70 meters high is the main attraction. Recently, a cliffwalk was opened with a glass floor suspended over the valley that surprises and delights its visitors.
The trees, which have been there since the age of the dinosaurs, continue to grow constantly because of the mist that moistens the region. And they are where Treetops Adventure's was installed, an attraction made up of suspended platforms and bridges that connect one trunk to the other.

Things to do in Western British Columbia – Vancouver Island
The largest island in the west of the American continent, Vancouver Island is home to the capital of the province of British Columbia, Victoria. Despite the name change, the city of Vancouver is not on Vancouver Island. Also, they often confuse this with Victoria Island, which is actually in the Arctic. So be careful not to confuse.
It is Vancouver Island that protects the calm bay that embraces the city of Vancouver, Squamish and other coastal cities in the province. The calm waters attract different types of marine life, making them an excellent habitat for orcas and migrating humpback whales, which can be seen there between March and October.
For enthusiasts of a coast with waves, cities like Tofino have exuberant natural beauty and a rough sea for surfers.
Victoria
From Vancouver to Victoria it takes about 3h20 of travel. Half of it is a 1h35 ferry crossing from Tsawwassen Terminal to Swartz Bay in Victoria. The natural beauties of British Columbia are already present there, with chances even of spotting whales on the crossing.
One of the highlights of the British Columbia capital is its manicured gardens and green parks. Butchart Gardens is the most impressive of these, just 10 minutes from downtown. In summer, on Saturdays, the park also has a spectacular fireworks display and live music on a beautiful lawn. The tip is to bring drinks and snacks for a picnic.
Visiting Victoria is the easiest and fastest way to spot the region's orcas and humpback whales. There are several companies that offer the half-day tour. For the more adventurous, the best option is to go on a zodiac (small boat). For those who want more comfort, there are options for a larger boat.

Things to do East in British Columbia – Rocky Mountains
The majesty of the mountains covered by ice and endless pine forests, the lakes of a crystalline turquoise blue that resembles the most heavenly sky are unique, singular and stunning landscapes. For these reasons, the Rocky Mountains should be on every nature-loving traveler's bucket list.
The Rocky Mountains run from northern British Columbia for 4.800 kilometers to New Mexico in the United States. The part that receives the most visitors in Canada is the one that makes up the national parks of Jasper, Banff and Yoho. In addition to the parks, it is essential to drive on one of the most scenic and beautiful roads in the world: the Icefield Parkway, which connects Banff and Jasper National Parks.
What do I need to know before going?
Even in summer, the weather in the Rocky Mountains is very cold, so bring a windbreaker. Columbia's are great, they protect the skin super well and offer incredible thermal comfort – in addition to being super durable.
Another good tip is to take snacks, garbage bags and hand sanitizer gel on all trails and lakes, as there are no restaurants in most parks and the toilets are small huts. In addition, few trails to the lakes have distance indications.
It is important to carry a whistle to scare off bears and never walk in small, silent groups. Make a lot of noise and ride more than 4 people on the trails.
When to go to the Rocky Mountains
The best time to visit the mountains is between the months of June and August, when the glaciers melt and the lakes turn a crystal blue color.
If you want to see the Aurora Borealis and find the frozen lakes, it is best to book the trip between the months of September and May.
How many days to stay in the Rocky Mountains
Ten days there allows for a smooth trip with space for longer and more scenic trails.
How to get to the Rocky Mountains
There are three ways to get from Vancouver to the Rocky Mountains: by car, train or plane.
By car
The first option requires facing about 9 hours of road, but with scenic landscapes and stops that are worth the roadtrip, such as the Othello Tunnels in Hope, or the Glacier National Park that gives previews of what the Rockys are.
Be aware of the movement of cars stopped on the side of the road in national parks. It is common to see bears, moose and other wildlife walking through the woods on the side of the road. Do not get out of the car when you see such an animal.
By train
The trip by train is one of the most famous tours in the world, the trip is long (about 16 hours) through the Rocky Mountaineer, but stunning. There are several routes connecting Vancouver to the national parks that are at the discretion of the traveler.
By airplane
There are only a few hours of flight between Vancouver and Calgary. Then you need to rent a car and drive for another two hours to the city of Banff. However, the scenic part with many natural wonders between Vancouver and the Rocky Mountains is unknown.
Banff National Park
Canada's first national park, established in 1885, began as a small reserve amid the country's transcontinental predecessor. Currently, it has gained space and attracts thousands of travelers who want to know the incredible landscapes, crystalline lakes and mountains of the region, in addition to the typical grizzly bears (grey bear) that usually appear on the roads.
Check out some of the park's main attractions below:
Banff Upper Hot Springs
One of Banff's traditions is a visit to the area's Hot Springs. The hot springs, which are pools created by natural hot springs, attract many visitors looking to relax after a day of hiking in the mountains.

The trail to this view requires a 15-minute hike uphill, but well signposted and paved. Moderate effort is worth every second. A good tip here is to always do these hikes with good hiking shoes.
Bow Lake
As an oasis that forms in the middle of highway 99, the Icefield Parkway, Bow Lake surprises all visitors who pass by. The turquoise color of the waters with imposing mountains behind make this one of the most unusual lakes in the place.

Columbia Icefield
Upon arriving at Jasper National Park via Icefields Parkway, the first attraction is the Columbia Icefield. A parking lot similar in proportion to Disney parks appears on the road, next to a center that receives the hundreds of visitors who pass through the highway daily in high season.
There, it is possible to book guided tours to discover and step on the impressive Athabasca Glacier or to the SkyWalk, a glass structure suspended over a valley. Due to the cold weather, it is nice to go well equipped for this place, with warm coats that provide thermal comfort.
For visitors who don't have enough time for the tour, hiking to the Athabasca glacier is also a great option. In the next 100 years, the glacier will cease to exist because of global warming. It is possible to observe the immensity of the frozen river and discover the history of the glacier at the foot of the mountain.
Athabasca Falls
