British Columbia bed and breakfast stays for the 2010 Winter Olympics
Victoria Vancouver Salt Spring Island Kelowna, Sooke
Beautiful British Columbia as it is known semi-officially is home to the 2010 Winter Olympics. No wonder so many BC bed and breakfast businesses exist for the convenience of tourists who just love to visit because British Columbia offers some of Canada’s most spectacular sights ranging from the majestic Rocky Mountains to the picturesque fjords of the Sunshine Coast.
British Columbia is often called Canada's outdoor playground because it offers year-round outdoor activities such as river rafting on the Fraser River, superb skiing at Whistler, canoeing around the Gulf Islands, whale watching in Victoria, dude ranch vacations in the Cariboo and wine tours around Kelowna in the Thompson Okanagan. Some B&B travelers prefer urban escapes in the scintillating cities of Vancouver & Victoria with their world class restaurants and cultural & sightseeing opportunities. With a reputation like this it is no wonder British Columbia is packed with amazing bed and breakfast establishments, lodges and inns.
Touring is the ideal way to see British Columbia's natural beauty and it is a good idea to plan your BC bed and breakfast itinerary in advance. Stay at a B&B, lodge or inn below the peaks of the Kootenay Rocky Mountains, listen to the Pacific Ocean surf off Vancouver Island where you can bed and breakfast, learn about Native Cultures in Northern British Columbia, fish in pristine Cariboo, play golf some at some the world's finest courses or view the abundant wildlife in the Thompson. The untamed parts of British Columbia are untamed indeed. They are wild and remote. British Columbia still has ancient forests, glaciers, and a vast amount of wildlife, mountain grizzly bears,eagles, and salmon. Many British Columbia bed and breakfast visitors make a point of visiting the unique temperate rain forest in the Cariboo Mountains. This ancient forest is situated in the Quesnel Lake watershed and contains trees that are over 1000 
years old. In spring and summer the high alpine region of BC explodes in a kaleidoscope of color as the wild flowers burst into full bloom. The floral heritage of British Columbia is reflected in the names of many lodges, inns and bed and breakfast places. The rich ecosystems of the lush valley bottoms provide food and shelter for a myriad of species including birds, bears and butterflies, fish and a fantastic plant world. The alpine refreshes the soul and is well catered for by bed and breakfast establishments in the towns in the vicinity.
