The British Columbia region

British Columbia (BC) is the western most province in Canada and is bordered by the Pacific coast to the west, on the northwest, by the U.S. state of Alaska, Alberta to the east, and by the US states of Washington, Idaho, and Montana to the south.

The Southern Interior of BC, where Sun Peaks is situated, is conveniently located between the Pacific Coastal Mountains and the Rockies. Sun Peaks is an ideal stopping place if driving from Alberta to the Coast. Originally the area was explored and opened up by road and rail, as the early European settlers sought easy routes to access the Pacific Coastal areas from the Prairie land to the east. Nowadays, the area is home to those seeking a less hectic lifestyle that is active and healthy, while still maintaining a close connection to big cities, like Vancouver to the west and Calgary to the east.

The area is blessed with abundant rivers, lakes and open spaces that afford many kinds of recreational activity . The summers are hot and dry, allowing for a wide variety of summer activities. Moderately wet Falls lead to snowy winters, that allow for the full range of winter activities. Unlike the coastal areas, our winters are sunny and dry, resulting in powder snow and skiing conditions unsurpassed anywhere in Cananda. Spring is a wonderful time to experience the awakening of new fauna and flora. All seasons are accompanied by an above average sunshine and the blue skies in B.C. seem to have a deeper blue than anyway else we have seen.
