Telegraph Cove, BC: So Many Whales!

Nestled into a peaceful inlet on the northeastern coast of Vancouver Island lies a tiny, picturesque boardwalk village with a reputation for outstanding whale watching.

Vancouver Island: A Bucket List Item

Vancouver Island, British Columbia, has been on our bucket list for years. Truthfully, it would have stayed on our bucket list had it not been for the fires raging throughout much of the West this summer.
