At this very moment, eagles are soaring to the Fraser Valley to

feed on the spawning salmon. A rock climber is scaling the

700 meter (2296 feet) pillar of granite in Sea to Sky Country. A

golfer is perfecting his swing on the cedar-lined

fairways of the Sunshine Coast. This is

Vancouver, Coast & Mountains,

where our outdoor experiences are

as spectacular as our scenery.

For a quick outdoor escape, explore one of the 22 regional parks, offering a range of activities from walking and biking to bird watching and picnicking. (Metro Vancouver has no shortage of outdoor recreational space within city limits.) For directions, maps and more info check out: www.metrovancouver.org/services/parks_lscr

Safety Tip: Never hike alone and always tell someone where you are going. Be on the lookout for bears and other wildlife. Come prepared with proper footwear, a jacket, water, snacks, maps, and be aware of sudden weather changes (particularly in the mountains). Even in late spring there may still be snow on the trails at higher altitudes.

see the wildlife Mountains, forests, ocean, lakes, rivers and beaches – Vancouver, Coast & Mountains provides the perfect setting for wildlife viewing. Wildlife viewing is possible throughout the region, even in the cities. Keep your eyes open and you may spot sea lions, whales, Bald eagles, raccoons, skunks, White-tailed deer, elk, beavers, river otters or even Bighorn mountain sheep. Bring your camera and get set for an unforgettable adventure.

WhalesThere are few experiences that compare to the exhilaration of seeing a whale in its natural habitat. Vancouver, Coast & Mountains is one of the best and most beautiful places in the world to watch Orca whales in the wild. Whale watching tours leave regularly from Fisherman’s Wharf in Steveston, Granville Island, and Waterfront Station in Vancouver. The best viewing time is from May to October.

Salmon Watching the annual salmon run–one of nature’s most fascinating rituals – is a fun and educational experience that the whole family will enjoy. Typically, salmon can be seen spawning in October in Mighty Fraser Country and from October to December in Sea to Sky Country.

A certain animal attraction. A land of infi nite possibilities.

The hatcheries in the region are a great place to learn about the lifecycle of the salmon. There is usually no charge to enter the hatcheries’ interpretive centres and they are often open year-round. Hatcheries can be found in North Vancouver (Capilano Salmon Hatchery), Mission (Inch Creek Hatchery), Chilliwack (Chilliwack Hatchery), and Harrison Mills (Chehalis River Hatchery and Weaver Creek Spawning Channel).

BirdsGrab your binoculars and don’t forget the camera as bird watching is plentiful throughout all four destination areas and seasons in the Vancouver, Coast & Mountains region.

The most famous feathered resident of the region is the Bald eagle. In the winter, large numbers of eagles gather on the banks of rivers throughout the region to feed on the spawning salmon. The highest concentration of eagles can be found along the Squamish, Mamquam and Cheakamus rivers in Sea to Sky Country, as well as on the banks of the Harrison River in Mighty Fraser Country. Visitors have the opportunity to view these majestic birds by booking a guided fl oat trip down one of the rivers. Or, watch from a comfortable distance at the Brackendale Eagle Provincial Park. The best time of the year to view eagles is from November to February.

The George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary and Boundary Bay area in Metro Vancouver is the top rated Important Bird Area (IBA) in Canada as it “exceeds global, continental and national standards for the diversity and number of birds supported” (bcnature.ca). Great numbers of wintering waterfowl and birds of prey can be found in this part of the Fraser River Estuary.

In Mighty Fraser Country the Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park and the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and Interpretive Centre are great places for bird watching, wildlife viewing and photography. The Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve is home to over 200 Great Blue heron nests and a variety of fl ora and fauna.
