It's the variety, I think that helps BC out so much. There are the Rockies which are incredible when you rail through them, there's desert like over by Oliver& Osoyoos, there're lakes and rivers, etc.
Most beautiful province in Canada
- Thread starter westmanguy
- Start date
I was born in New Westminster, B.C., and I thank my grandparents/parents, (England/Ireland)for
making their way to this beautiful province, they knew something, obviously, and once they arrived
here they stayed the rest of their lives.
I have been all over this province, now live on Vancouver Island, we take different trips, each year
to see rest of it. I have never been dissapointed with anything "thus" far.
BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA

Hermann, I lived my first 5 years in NWT, it's very beautiful as well. Really anywhere in Canada that isn't covered with concrete and steel you'll find beauty. The Prarie skies with the rolling hills(in some places 
), The mountains and the coast in BC, Cape Breton Highlands, PEI. The list goes on.

Ontario may forget that there are other provinces, but it seems sometimes that the other provinces at times forget about the territories
I remember what the guide said: "Look at those beautiful mountains!"
I replied, "In Ontario we call them rocks. And we've got plenty of them. We even have the shield. It's like a flat mountain, only a lot bigger."
"And look at the ocean! she said.
I smiled, "In Ontario we have the world's largest inland freshwater sea. And we nestle four smaller ones that would like to be just like it."
"And look at Vancouver!" she said.
"Looks a lot like Toronto," I said. "Only Toronto's bigger."
"Why don't you go home then!" she said.
"I am...tomorrow."

We went to Ontario once. Touched down in Toronto, stayed around there for a few days, drove up
to Algonquin Park (spel?), stayed at rock lake, went canoeing, saw a moose, very enjoyable.
It's amazing, I've never seen a moose in B.C., had to go to Ontario to do that, guess the moose there
are more sociable.
Went to two blue jays games. Drove to Niagara Falls, very nice, but too touristy. Good memories.
I won't go again.
My daughter and her husband were stationed at Downsview for a couple of years, north of Toronto.
We are going to take a couple of train trips within B.C., will be beautiful, and fun.

You never watched "The Beachcombers"? Tsk tsk.

Beautiful pictures, makes me restless, want to get in the car and "drive" and "look".
Haven't been to Man, Sask, or Alberta, but I've also been to Yukon and NWT - drove the Dempster Hwy up to Inuvik, and then flew up to Tuk for a bus tour.
I can't pick one over the others, because it all depends on what you consider beautiful. Oceans, beaches, mountains, river valleys.

Well, I've been over just about all of BC and like I said, the variety of sceneries is expansive: from deserts to marshland, from flat areas to Rockies, from oceanfront to high north to wilderness to hectic urban areas.
There are webcams for much of British Columbia - the Island, Greater Vancouver, etc....
