Can’t help but admire the rugged coastline of Pender Harbour!
📷: Repost
Located about an hour north of the ferry terminal when arriving from Vancouver, Pender Harbour is made up of several tiny communities (including Madeira Park and Garden Bay), all positioned around the Harbour. It would take close to an hour to drive all the way around the Harbour, but it’s only a few minutes boat ride across! Besides exploring the coastline, travelers can enjoy ample hiking trails, quaint cafes, and a variety of accommodations including cabins, B&Bs, camping, and luxury resorts.

"The Knuckleheads, a backcountry recreation region near Powell River, is home to a new cabin, named Vic Cole Lodge. The lodge's namesake, Vic Cole, named the area the "Knuckleheads" because he thought anyone who wanted to ski the area would have to be one to attempt it. That said, the area is now home to spectacular backcountry snowshoeing, ski touring, hiking, and exploring, for those that are prepared for adventure.

As always, backcountry explorers should be prepared. Snowshoeing and hiking in winter conditions can be hazardous. If you are travelling through avalanche terrain, you and everyone in your group must be self-sufficient—carrying all the proper gear (transceiver, shovel, and probe) and have avalanche training. Familiarize yourself with principles and is a great resource to help you get informed before heading outdoors. Remember the three Ts—trip planning, training, and taking the essentials."
