Morning light breaks over English Bay and the limo pulls away, the harbor opening like a map of the region. You cross the causeway toward Stanley Park where cedar-scented trails and the engraved totem poles pause the city’s momentum; the Lions Gate Bridge arcs above, daring you to look farther west. The day moves from urban viewpoints to renovated heritage districts, past the colorful stalls of Granville Island Public Market, and then out into the rolling farmland of the Fraser Valley where low vines and orchard trees slope toward distant mountains.
