- Have Fun in the Snow at Mount Washington Skiing Alpine Resort. Tucked at the foothills of Strathcona Provincial Park’s peaks and overlooking the Georgia Strait, Mount Washington is a year-round destination that will leave you stunned.

- Take the Ferry from Anacortes, WA into Sidney, BC and stay in a treehouse. If you are planning to take the ferry to Vancouver Island any time during the summer, make your vehicle reservations online in advance.
