One of the main reasons to book an RV in Vancouver is to visit the majestic mountain ranges, wildlife preserves, and islands for which the state is famous. There are also plenty of places to visit within a 30-minute drive of Vancouver’s downtown, including the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, Grouse Mountain, and the Pacific Spirit Regional Park. While visiting British Columbia, you can make the five-hour trek with your Vancouver travel trailer rental to the Pacific Rim National Park. This is one of the most famous national parks in the province and certainly one of the most impressive. The Pacific Rim National Park is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island and is open all year round. Many hikers head to this park to take on the 46-mile West Coast Trail and walk in the footsteps of the famous shipwreck survivors who traversed wide beaches, forests, rivers, and streams, to reach civilization. Others gather on Long Beach or Barkley Sound and suit up for surfing and swimming or take a kayak and paddle to the Broken Group Islands. Other popular activities within the park include geocaching, storm watching, mountain biking, boating, and bird watching. Another breathtaking national park to visit with your Vancouver rental RV is the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. The coastal park is thriving with birdlife, sea creatures, and underwater ecosystems. The best way to explore this beautiful maze of islands is to rent a kayak or paddle boat and navigate the rocky shorelines. Visitors who prefer to keep their feet dry can get closer to nature and wildlife on the park’s shoreside hiking and biking trails. Cycle along the paved trail on Mayne Island or, for a tougher ride, mountain bike on the Saturna or Pender Islands. The islands are also home to 17 fruit orchards where visitors and volunteers can pick nuts, plums, cherries, pear, apples, and quince right off their trees.
