Hiking in British Columbia

British Columbia is home to hiking trails that take you through some of the most captivating landscapes imaginable. The trails in the North Okanagan reflect the spirit of the local community, where hiking connects people to the land and to each other. On Vancouver Island, Nitinaht Lake invites you to experience the beauty of BC’s coastal wilderness, with paths that inspire reflection and a deeper appreciation for the outdoors.

For iconic hikes, trek the stunning Joffre Lakes Trail near Pemberton, wander the ancient forests of the Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island, or challenge yourself on one of the largest granite domes in North America, the Stawamus Chief in Squamish. We're just scratching the surface here, there are endless hidden gems for you to find while hiking in BC.
