Our affection for all things Canadian runs deep! While we cherish delightful Poutine from Quebec and the highlights of Vancouver, what continually draws us back is the great outdoors. British Columbia particularly captivates us with its expansive and pristine natural landscapes. Notably, it boasts numerous exceptional hiking opportunities that beckon adventurers.
Reflecting on our experiences—from visiting the finest sites in British Columbia to driving from Vancouver to Calgary and venturing through Alaska (via the White Pass and Yukon Railroad)—we have grown fond of BC as our Canadian sanctuary.
This inspired me to compile a list of the best hikes in British Columbia for you to enjoy during your visit. The following hiking trails are relatively accessible and do not extend too far north, where accessibility may be limited. Most are within a manageable distance from major attractions in British Columbia, ensuring you have several options to fit into your itinerary.
