More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A slow ribbon of highway opens out of Vancouver’s glass and traffic, then softens into the Fraser Valley’s rolling farmland. By mid-morning the van slips along Harrison Lake, its long shore reflecting mountain shoulders that seem to push the horizon back; the lake itself will dare you to slow down. The tour moves at a domestic pace — roadside viewpoints, a short stop at Bridal Falls, then the breadth of Harrison Hot Springs where the spa awaits.
