Port Hardy to Vancouver BC

 

LUCKY LAGER ROAD TRIP

BRITISH COLUMBIA

 Port Hardy to Vancouver

Miles: 259 / Total Trip Miles: 1,684

October 11, 2015

Today's land/sea route to Vancouver was first via The Island Highway, which runs from Port Hardy to the Nanaimo BC Ferry Terminal (Departure Bay) where we caught a ferry. Morning temperatures were cool (mid-40 degrees Fahrenheit). The fall foliage was beautiful with bright orange and red colors. Dense fog covered the highway, and wispy smoke-like fog highlighted the surrounding mountains. Elk walked across the highway and then paused on the road. At Nanaimo, we took a BC Ferry to Horseshoe Bay Terminal, Vancouver. The ferry ride on the MV Coastal Renaissance took one hour and forty minutes.
