coming by car from an eastern point in Canada you would likely take
Hwy 1 and if you are driving north from the US you would probably use
I-5 and cross into Canada at Blaine, Washington and then just carry
on. Amtrak service is available from Seattle and from Vancouver Island
you would use the BC Ferry system. There are also many charter plane
services that can bring you from remote locations. |
