British Columbia

Thousand-year-old cedars wear coats of thick moss in Carmanah Valley. You pretend you're a human ant as you step around the ancient tree roots rising out of the ground like small buildings. Down the coast, you dig clams out of the sandy beach at low tide, then hang around a few hours to watch the waves come crashing onto the rocks.

Inland, the sweet fragrance of apples and peaches ripening in the sun embellishes the picturesque landscape of Okanagan orchards. You crave the rush of wind that envelops your body as you hurtle down the powdery slopes of Whistler or the deep white bowls of the Rocky Mountains. And you never miss a chance to fill up on the gastronomic pleasures of authentic sushi and curries in cosmopolitan Vancouver.
