Being famous for its absolutely stunning nature, British Columbia offers endless variety of options of how to spend a weekend or where to go for a mini vacation. Vacationing in British Columbia last year, I've got an impression that people who live in BC Canada just have to step outside of the door to be immersed into breathtaking scenery of the most beautiful province of the country. Therefore, to find place to go for a short get away in British Columbia shouldn't be difficult. For water-based activities lovers British Columbia is a paradise. Swimming, fishing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, sailing, windsurfing, waterskiing - you can do all of it almost in every region of the province, thanks to its closeness to the ocean and endless number of rivers and lakes. For winter vacation British Columbia mountains are supreme. The province is full of skiing and snowboarding mountains, as well as the world's best powder and heli-skiing options. It's no wonder why British Columbia ski resorts were chosen to host of 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. For culture and architecture lovers to spend a few days in Vancouver is a blast! The city is diverse and vibrant: great restaurants, museums, nightclubs, as well as outdoor activities - one of the few cities in the world where you can ski in the morning and sail in the afternoon. Even wine lovers can satisfy their interests in British Columbia. BC wineries and vineyards welcome visitors for tastings and gourmet dining. Here, there are some ideas for mini vacation in British Columbia.
