Experience a view of BC as enduring as the ancient Rocky Mountains. Choose one of our self-guided circle tours and set off through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.

Our highways follow the historic trails of explorers, pioneers, gold miners, and settlers. Catch the pioneer spirit on the original Gold Rush Trail or experience the rich arts and culture of BC First Nations people whose enduring presence has shaped the landscape for thousands of years.

You can visit the original site of Canada's fur trade, stop in gold rush boomtowns, railway towns, Victorian heritage towns, and even spooky ghost towns. You'll tour lush orchards and taste award-winning wines. Leave your trace on a sandy beach or make tracks high in mountain wilderness.

No matter which route you choose you'll encounter friendly faces and western hospitality. And opportunities for outdoor adventure abound. Paddle through a roaring canyon then soak in mineral-rich hot springs pools. Fish for trout in sparkling lakes then ride high in the saddle across open ranchland.

BC's many parks are also teeming with wildlife and natural wonders. Travel to glacial-capped peaks, volcanic mountains, turquoise lakes, and some of Canada's highest waterfalls. Or head north to see one of North America's largest glaciers and watch grizzly bear fishing for salmon.

All roads lead to wondrous hiking, cycling, paddling, rafting, fishing, horseback riding, and swimming. Or try skiing, snowshoeing, and even heli-hiking and heli-skiing in winter. Whether trailblazing across open ranchland, paddling pristine lakes, touring aboriginal communities, visiting historic towns, or sailing the Inside Passage, your adventure begins the minute you meet the open road.
