What is Vancouver, BC, Canada known for?

Beautiful view of downtown Vancouver, mountains, and park.

My brother calls us “laid-back west-coasters.” Everyone tells it’s beautiful here, when I say I’m from Vancouver. I always see news articles and broadcasts about how expensive it is to live here. All these things are true about Vancouver.

Maybe your partner or friend urges you to give camping a try. But you're terrified about camping. I hope you'll give it a try after you read this post.

What is there to do in Whistler During Fall?

August 25, 2021 by Tazim Leave a Comment

In Winter you have downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling (are you seeing a trend here?) and on-mountain sightseeing. There’s no doubt that there are plenty of reasons why most people who think of Whistler think of it as a winter destination.

Summer in Whistler is also a lot of fun, with the world-class mountain bike park that is ever-expanding, lakes to jump into, and plenty of hiking trails for every ability level.

Fall is also a great time of year to take a break and head to Whistler. With the mountain bike park and gondolas closed for the season in early October, the rest of fall in Whistler is a lot less crowded.

Take a look at this post to find things to do in Whistler during the fall season.
