Living on BC's Sunshine Coast is AMAZING!
First, I love living by the ocean. Second, there's no shortage of outdoorsy things to do. Hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, outrigger canoeing... The list goes on and on.
As if that wasn't enough, I'm a 40 minute ferry ride to hikes and views like Mount Brunswick!
There's a lot (A LOT) of uphill in this hike but the views from the top and from along the way are totally worth the effort! How cool is it that I got to see the famous Lions from a different perspective!?
It's also SO rewarding to reach the top and get a spectacular view of Howe Sound, Bowen Island, Keats Island, Gambier Island and - of course - the Sunshine Coast!
I can't recommend this hike enough. These are some of the links I used to plan our trip. Or, I should say, Donna planned and I went along!
