Vancouver Island and BC Coast recommendations in Nature Posted September 22, 2000 Greetings, I am going to Vancouver for two days of photography next week (9/28-29), while my partner is at a conference (and a day of mountain biking after ;-) I would like to spend the two days doing scenic and landscape photos. My current (tentative) plan for Thursday is to catch the 6:30 ferry from Horseshoe Bay (we are staying in Vancouver), to Nanaimo, drive across to Pacific Rim NP (which unit is the best for photography?), Botanical Beach, MacMillan (Cathedral Grove) and return sometime that evening (sunset at PRNP?) Friday I plan to drive north up the coast from Vancouver, possibly up to Skookumchuck Narrows. along the sunshine coast hwy. I am looking for advice (tips, and "don't bother" advice are all welcome) for "must see" locations. I have been out to Olympic NP and up the east coast of Vancouver Island before. I especially enjoyed shooting the rain forest, waterfalls, tidal pools and rocky coast lands. I am not adverse to hiking (even rough terrain and scrambling) with my gear, although I would like to maximize my photography time vs. my hiking time (we do plenty of hiking vacations with no photography ;-) (I am also posting this to the pnwphoto@egroups, as has been recommender in other posts)

Greetings,
I am going to Vancouver for two days of photography next week
(9/28-29), while my partner is at a conference (and a day of
mountain biking after ;-)
I would like to spend the two days doing scenic and landscape
photos.
My current (tentative) plan for Thursday is to catch the 6:30 ferry
from Horseshoe Bay (we are staying in Vancouver), to Nanaimo,
drive across to Pacific Rim NP (which unit is the best for
photography?), Botanical Beach, MacMillan (Cathedral Grove)
and return sometime that evening (sunset at PRNP?)
Friday I plan to drive north up the coast from Vancouver, possibly
up to Skookumchuck Narrows. along the sunshine coast hwy.
I am looking for advice (tips, and "don't bother" advice are all
welcome) for "must see" locations.
I have been out to Olympic NP and up the east coast of
Vancouver Island before. I especially enjoyed shooting the rain
forest, waterfalls, tidal pools and rocky coast lands.
I am not adverse to hiking (even rough terrain and scrambling)
with my gear, although I would like to maximize my photography
time vs. my hiking time (we do plenty of hiking vacations with no
photography ;-)
