Or bar-b-q fresh salmon, crab, oysters or cod you catch yourself in the Vancouver area. Hike the "grouse grind" right in Vancouver, or choose from thousands of hiking trails, rivers, lakes and more mountains than you can visit in a lifetime. Once the 2010 olympics come and go, the "secret" will be out.
Other areas of B.C have some of the finest trout fishing on the planet, deserts with cactus and sage brush where it get to 110 in the summer. Northern areas so vast and unexplored you could hike 500 miles without seeing a road or another person. Want outdoor activities in an urban setting with world class amenities? VANCOUVER.
