Fall in BC is a real treat! So with the cozy season nearing, we thought it was time to reflect on the best fall experiences you need to try that will help you say goodbye to summer.
This list is full of adventures big and small that will show you parts of the province you’ve never seen before. How many of these bucket-list items can you get to this fall?
Things to do in BC in the fall
Go apple picking
Like a fall activity from a storybook, picking apples is a whimsical way to spend a fall afternoon. Taves Applebarn is a popular choice for Metro Vancouverites.
Meet the wolves in Golden
In Golden, which has been ranked as one of the best small towns in Canada, you can visit the Northern Lights Wildlife Centre and see the wolf pack up close.
Spend a weekend at a cabin
For those fall weekends when the forecast is full of wind and rain, it’s the perfect time to post up at a cabin. Find an Airbnb gem somewhere in a quiet corner of the province and spend some time by the fire catching up on your to-be-read list.
Go storm-watching in Tofino
Watch waves up to 20 feet high roll in from the beach or your beachfront cabin in Tofino this fall. Stormy weather typically picks up around November and continues into the winter.
Pick the perfect pumpkin from the patch
Whether you’re just going for the cute fall photo-op or you really are stocking up on pumpkins, a visit to the patch is a must for everyone.
Dip in Liard River Hot Springs
An adventure you have to take at least once in your life is a road trip up to Canada’s most stunning hot springs at Liard River. Surrounded by the woods, this remote hot spring is like heaven on earth and looks beautiful in the fall.
Chase larch trees in Manning Park
Fall colours in evergreen BC can indeed be hard to find, but there’s a hidden corner of Mt. Frosty at Manning Park where you can catch striking Golden Larches in the fall.
Climb to the Mascot Gold Mine
In Hedley, an old gold mine is built into the cliffs that look like something out of a fantasy novel. You can tour the tunnels and the ghost town mine built almost a kilometre above the valley.
