Vancouver

Sandwiched between sandy beaches and snowy mountains, Vancouver offers skiing, snowboarding, sailing, kayaking, biking, hiking, and lofty tree walks. Snuggle on a carriage ride around Stanley Park, home of the summertime Theatre Under the Stars, and ogle inspiring views on Grouse Mountain’s Skyride. Suit up in fashions by local designers on South Main (SoMa), then head for cocktails at the upscale bars and clubs along Yaletown’s waterfront.
