From the temperate west coast rain forests, to the glacier-strewn peaks of the mountains or the arid interior, BC has it all.

This could have been your picture.Wildlife is abundant, and at times when you least expect it; whatever your mode of transportation. From the little squirrel on up to the majestic Elk. All manner of bird life, from the smallest of pipers to big old Eagles, and crooked necked Blue Herons.
