Great pics, Dog. Sounds like the weather cooperated for you also. It's been a great summer and early fall overall for the Northwest coast.

Several TE Vancouver members can show you around next time when you roll into town.

Consider taking B.C. Ferries from Vancouver (Horseshoe Bay) over to Vancouver Island (Nanaimo) where there's choice to cycle north or south along Vancouver Island or take very short ferry ride to Gabriola Island. Then there's the Sunshine Coast. (Powell River, Sechelt, Gibsons, etc.)

Or take B.C. Ferries from Twassessen point (in Delta, suburb south of Vancouver) to go over to Southern tip of Vancouver island and the Gulf Islands.

Whole coast of B.C. especially north of Bella Bella to Prince Rupert,..is thick, pristine wild old growth forest and Coast Mountains. I took the B.C. Ferry (Inside Passage route) to Prince Rupert...awesome how wild this coastal area is. Not open coastline like Oregon .. It is the area where the rare "spirit" bear inhabit..the white bear. (no it's not the polar bear)
