British Columbia
Two main road routes strike east from Vancouver towards Alberta and the Canadian Rockies - the Trans-Canada Highway and Hwy 3, both served by regular Greyhound buses . Both give access to the Okanagan , known for its warm-watered lakes and summer resorts, and to the beautiful mountain and lakes enclave of the Kootenays . VIA trains run through the region via Kamloops to Jasper (for the Rockies) and Edmonton three times weekly. Buses and BC Rail trains also serve the Cariboo region, the duller central part of the province . Several mouthwatering itineraries can be put together by combining car or public transport journeys in the BC interior with BC Ferries' connections from Port Hardy on Vancouver Island to either Bella Coola or Prince Rupert.
