These are photos taken from a trip last July. We flew to Vancouver, took the ferry to Nanaimo BC and then drove to Port Hardy at the north end of the island. After an overnight, caught the 10 hour ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola on the central coast. After spending a few days in Bella Coola hiking to local sights, took the gravel road across the Coast Mountains to Nimpo Lake on the Chilcotin Plateau in central BC. From there generally followed the Fraser River back south to Vancouver, including a rugged 150km stretch between Riske BC and Chasm BC via the Gang Ranch.

We drove to Campbell River and stayed overnight. (Next time Port Hardy for sure!) Then made our way across to the tiny fishing village of Tahsis for an eco-tour, which was fabulous. These photographs do Vancouver Island justice. Thanks for sharing

O Canada!
BC has some stunning scenery, and some of it is so remote that there are still swaths that have never been touched by humans.
