Pfeil Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi Guys I fly in May with my wife for the first time across the pond and we will visit Vancouver Canada for 10 days. So I thought I ask here if you have any tips what to visit or any secret sights I shoud not miss in the city or in the area. After those 10 days we go on a ship cruise up north to Alaska (only it's southren part) so it will be my first visit to US too. We have a quite full program there but if you have any tips for Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, Skagway I'm sure they would be usefull too. Thanks Klaiber, GenMarkof and Butzzell 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hi Pfeil I live just over on the Island near Victoria. A visit to https://www.capbridge.com/ Is always a good way to send a few hours and it's located not far from the city in North Van. Easy access to it as well by public transit if your not driving. This is another good one to see the natural beauty of the area https://lynncanyon.ca/ Lipfert, Pfeil, Klaiber and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfeil Posted March 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Thanks Fawlty Both look good. We will visit Victoria for a day with the ship cruise. If you see Queeen Elizabeth at anchor in the port then Jasta 6 is there. Britchot and Klaiber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfeil Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi guys. I'm back again! Thanks for all tips and especially for Squamish. We had a great time. We have visited most of the locations here mentioned and sooooo much more. The nature in Canada and Alaska is amazing and I think we will visit them again.
