More Campgrounds British Columbia and RV camping sites abound. To the east, the Canadian Rockies place thousands of feet into the sky. To the west, the dense forests of fir doubled melt into the Pacific Ocean, where you can find beauty in the coastal cities like Vancouver and Victoria or escapes natural in places like Vancouver Island and the Inside Passage.
Emerald Lake was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in the 1980s for its paleontological treasures.
Just at the point where Alberta is British Columbia is Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, who has the most impressive peaks of all the Canadian Rockies. To begin, there is the imposing Mount Assiniboine nearly 12,000 feet, even "small" surrounding peaks reach almost 8,000 feet. The disadvantage is that the park is somewhat isolated and grants limited access. However, if you're the type who likes to strap a backpack, Mount Assiniboine is quite a reward for any hiking trip.
As you make your way west, crossing into the province of British Columbia, Yoho National Park welcomes visitors all year to the end Western Canadian Rockies. The park itself is home to a magnificent beauty, 30 "three-thousanders", that is to say, the peaks measuring over 3,000 meters (Nearly 10,000 feet). This range offers views not only impressive, but also some of the wildest creatures in North America, including the Bear brown, mountain lion and moose. Unlike the sometimes crowded Lake Louise, located right on a mountain, the peaceful surroundings of Lake O'Hara was isolated by canyons and surrounding areas is for relaxing visit to this desert world. British Columbia RV camping resorts nearby host the caravan and grand family tent rig RVers with a wide range of sites.
Over the years, paleontological treasures have been unearthed near Emerald Lake.

The largest lake in Yoho National Park, Emerald Lake offers miles of hiking along its banks, including a trail to the falls Wapta a large body of water that rocks of the surrounding mountains.
If you go west Yoho National Park, the ground begins to ease when you pass over the Continental Divide trail and in the Rockies. You'll find the Kootenay National Park. Founded in 1920, showcases the park's nearly 600 square miles of landscape more varied than its two national parks counterparts in the east, green meadows, clear lakes, dense forests and more. Above the tree line, although in the background, stand an impressive range of mountains, but not as forbidding as those to the east. BC Camping span the park's perimeter.
Marble Canyon is a canyon 2000 feet carved by meandering Tokkum Creek. Today, the canyon walls are so polite after centuries of wind and rain that the walls of limestone resembling marble (hence the name). And then there are the paint pots, a series of basins minerals formed by the river, compliments of the Vermilion River which flows nearby. For hikers, this region offers great hiking in Rockwall, a spectacular 3000-foot cliff overlooking the valley below.
Western Canadian Rockies and British Columbia is the Glacier National Park. Horseback the Canada-US border, Glacier National Park was designated in 1886 to protect a variety of goodies for the environment. Perhaps they were both on the job protection, provided the area is inaccessible, except for hikers, hikers, etc.. What glacier offer are few roads and railways exception so that you do not miss the fantastic scenery. Abandoned Rails Trail is a winding road so that through the Rogers Pass, a national historic site. The Bear Falls Trail and Hemlock Grove Trail reveal a landscape just as rewarding as they slowly pass through this land often harsh. Although Glacier National Park is invited during the summer months, the winter months regularly be a difficult time to visit regularly roads buried under feet of snow.
The proximity of Mount Revelstoke National Park offers forest red cedar 600 years in these verdant hills. While serving as an excellent example of a forest of British Columbia rain, the real draw is Mount Revelstoke abundance wildflower-covered meadows along the valley. Take the 16-mile Sky Meadows Drive as it winds on the slopes of Mount Revelstoke and the top 6388 meters. If visiting during the summer months, the meadows near the summit are a dazzling display of wildflowers.
Last of the region National Park Waterton Lakes National Park.

Relatively low in comparison to surrounding parks (202 square miles), Waterton manages to keep several beautiful lakes and rivers. In 1932, Waterton Lakes National Park has been linked to its southern neighbor, Montana Glacier National Park, making it the first International Peace Park.
As you head west of the mountainous region of eastern British Columbia, stretching from the western province welcome visitors with a varied environment of its own. The coastal islands are forested with pines, majestic rivers Careen through rocky valleys, and beautiful houses of culture was only miles of wilderness escapes. The west coast of British Columbia remains the region most visited in Canada, and Most campgrounds British Columbia are here. Although the summer months can bring the crowds in cities like Vancouver and Victoria, open Getaways air are numerous along the shores of the fjord as the coast or around the mountain ranges within.
Using Vancouver as a starting point point, an introduction to British Columbia can be had through several short excursions and practical. The famous ski resort in Whistler offers a spectacular skiing during the winter months.

During the summer months, try Highway 99, known as the Sea and Sky Highway. Along the way, you can immerse yourself spectacular views of Howe Sound, where the cliffs are creeping into the cold waters below.
No visit to Vancouver would be complete without spending time on Vancouver Island. In fact, placing them on the top of your "To Do" list. The largest island on the west coast of America North Vancouver Island covers nearly 12,000 square miles of lush tropical forests, as well as significant stands of trees.

Composed of three distinct sections – the West Coast Trail, the Broken, and Long Beach – The park is a unique, incorporating features such as steep cliffs, a winding shoreline, sandy beaches and tropical forests everywhere.
At the end of your entertainment Vancouver, hop the Trans-Canada, as it makes its way eastward to the interior of British Columbia. Originally a path taken by the pioneers of the 19th century, travelers can now skip the difficulties of those who have more than a century and simply enjoy the impressive scenery along the road.

The Fraser Canyon, the road leads to Hells Canyon, a niche dug 600 feet deep along the rage of the Fraser River. While descending into the canyon is almost impossible (maybe that has something to do with its menacing name?), A tram gondola, as is available to facilitate visitors to the canyon floor and a suspension bridge facilitates rapid white crosses the Fraser River. Then visit what is considered as the hottest place in Canada, the rapid Lytton. Located at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers, the rapids are widely regarded as the best rafting in the entire country. Finally, follow the highway north to Cache Creek.
