I was in Vancouver last week. The weather was TERRIFIC!
I wanted to see Whistler but all the tour buses to Whistler from Vancouver were paused. Just fyi for any Whistler enthusiasts.

If anyone ever tells you I hate Canada, ignore. It's the farthest from the truth so that's a lie. I have only just started to explore all the must-see places in this country.

There is a lot I hate about Canada, but it has nothing to do with tourist attractions. I have never been to Whistler.

I'm glad you're enjoying your summer Azhya..
We're going camping in the Kootenays this long weekend.

It has changed into a crowded mass of buildings & people .. and far less natural place
OK I guess if one likes that.
North of it is still quite natural and very nice

I had a fantastic time when I went to Calgary and Lake Louise. I would love to see BC, from the Rockies to the coast.
Lake Louise is still "less commercial" than Whistler & Banff & very nice
The Columbia Icefields are worth viewing .. I once drove it southbound as dawn was breaking .. a surreal feeling I still get when I think of it
Fash's Kootenay area is really natural and BC at it's natural best. I'm most familiar with the southern end of it - Possibly Fash enters it from above? to the north?

I've only been to Banff, but I don't doubt the other three are spectacular holiday destinations too.

I really love the Rockies. I have not seen all of Canada so I have to pass for a definite answer. So far, I always love Banff. Johnston Canyon is beautiful. Lake Minnewanka. Lake Louise. I plan to go to Jasper too and Yoho. I would still like to see Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Foundland and more. I know someone who lives in the Yukon too. Maybe she'll invite me to visit.

They are called redwood trees.
The tallest trees in the world are redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), which tower above the ground in California. These trees can easily reach heights of 300 feet (91 meters). Among the redwoods, a tree named Hyperion dwarfs them all.
