Fall in British Columbia

Slow down and take it all in

Fall in British Columbia (September to December) offers a different pace—quieter, cooler, and full of moments that make you pause. 

Road trip through the rolling grasslands of the Cariboo, savour harvest season in the Okanagan and Similkameen, or hike among golden larches in the Kootenays. With quieter roads and fewer crowds, fall is an ideal time to experience BC.
