Bike-packing in British Columbia; A Photographic Review

A collection of images from a honeymoon/bike-packing excursion in British Columbia, Canada. Over the course of a couple weeks in September 2024, my wife and I preceded to sample as many 2-3 day bike packing routes as possible. From Vancouver Island to the Sunshine Coast to the Sea to Sky Corridor, we got to see some of the most beautiful scenery this Canadian province has to offer, riding routes that included; The Cowichan Valley 8, Powell River 10 Lakes Loop, Texada Ridge Runner, and The Sea to Sky Trail from Squamish to Pemberton.

There is no richer travel experience than one lived from the seat of a bicycle and despite seeing a lot in a short amount of time, by the end of this trip, we felt we had barely scratched the surface of this region. Will have to return soon! Thanks for viewing!
