Top Ten Places to visit in British Columbia

Courtesy of Pat Bell's Top Ten for July 29th:

1. Touring the Kootenay region with the natural Hot Springs and spectacular mountains came in at number one. Special award goes to Nakusp and Radium!
2. Barkerville was a strong second and a personal favorite for those of us from the north.
3. Tied for second is Penticton and especially the Skaha lake beach had lots of support.
4. Also tied for second place is the Mount Robson hike to Berg Lake. A popular spot that I have not been to yet but maybe this year?
5. In a 6 way tie for fith is the area around Barrier and Clearwater with honourable mention to a little resort called “Alpine Meadows Resort”.
6. The Pemberton/Whistler to Lillooett drive alson received multiple votes and my personal support. This is spectacular country.
7. The Kitimat/North Coast saltwater fishing experience rates high as well. Special mention to the Pink/Chum fishery in early August.
8. The Sunshine Coast and Gulf Island kayaking experience seems popular with many.
9. Another ‘Ocean Experience” with multiple votes is the Tofino/West Coast of Vancouver Island experience.
10. Last but not least is the Alaska Highway drive. It’s been a few years since we’ve done this but going up the Alaska Highway and back down Highway 37 makes a great week long round trip out of Prince George.
