Teaching from Mr. F's Perspective : BC Trip (Part 4

On Wednesday, I did a Sea to Sky tour, with VancouverTours, check them out here! This was my only tour with them, as they had very similar ones with West Coast Sight Seeing. It was a pretty cold day, as our tour guide picked me up from out hotel, and out of all the day tours, it has the smallest amount of people. About 20? Smaller! 10 people? Smaller! There was 6 tourists! Yes, 6. Well 7, including our tour guide. I love small groups, as we were able to bond with each other more and have easy going conversations throughout the day.

First tourist stop was at Horseshoe Bay! It's a favorite spot for Vancouverites to visit on the weekend, and I can see why. I thought BC Ferries only departed from Tsawwassen, but turns out I was wrong. They have ferry departure here too but running at a lesser frequency.

Next, we stopped at Shannon Falls, which wasn't too far from Horseshoe Bay. It is the third largest Waterfall in BC, at about 335 meters high. That is high! When we looked up, the sun was right in our way, so our pictures at this stop weren't the best.

We then spent the next part of the day at Cypress Mountain. As we were part of a tour group, we didn't have to wait in line for our tickets. One of the perks, right?! The gondola to the top only fits 8 people, which was perfect for us. Only taking about 8-9 minutes to the top, the gondola trip was up ~~and down~~ was exquisite. An advantage to this is you get to experience the ride to its fullest. At the top, we grabbed lunch, explored the trails and walked over a wicked suspension bridge. I think this one's called Sky Pilot. Check out my pictures.

After finishing our time at Cypress Mountain, which is breathtaking, we ended our day at the Britannia Mine Museum. Located couple minutes from the bottom, we explored the importance of mining and how miners were extremely hard working people. We went on the mine train, and able to see how much physical labor these miners endured. Seriously, it's tough work.
