Day Trips from Vancouver

Have a bit more time to discover British Columbia? Vancouver is the perfect launch pad to explore other parts of the province. Along the gloriously scenic Sea to Sky Highway you’ll find incredible outdoor adventures just 45 minutes away in Squamish or in the nearby town of Whistler, host mountain resort to the 2010 Olympics Winter Games.

Take a ferry, helicopter or floatplane across to Vancouver Island to visit the charming provincial capital, Victoria, or hang ten in Canada’s surfing capital Tofino. Or head inland to discover B.C.’s lakeside wine growing region, the Okanagan Valley for exceptional wine experiences.

The Fraser Valley is a wonderful short drive east of Vancouver along the Trans-Canada Highway. Enjoy fresh water fishing, hot springs, river rafting, agri-tourism and even some local mysteries. The major centres to visit include Chilliwack, Harrison Hot Springs, Agassiz, and Abbotsford. All have a wonderfully distinct feeling and vibe, and all have unique experiences and attractions to help you create deeper connection to the spirit of the land.

The Fraser Valley traces the path of the mighty Fraser River as it winds itself towards the Pacific. Fishing for pacific salmon, sturgeon, and trout is especially lucrative on the Fraser River, and the powerful waterway also offers plenty of chances for exhilarating rafting and boating adventures. The region boasts a number of parks and conservation areas, and after a long day of exploring, many visitors choose to unwind in the Harrison Hot Springs.
You can search for the elusive “Sasquatch” or Bigfoot around Harrison Lake. Harrison Mills is home to the legendary Sasquatch, a giant apelike creature covered with hair known around the globe.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
