50 Things to do in BC Before You Die

Back in the summmer I had bought an issue of British Columbia Magazine for something to read on the Ferry. It was their 50th anniversary issue and to celebrate they had a list of 50 things to do in BC before you died. Some of the things were pretty stupid, like ride a BC Ferry, but the majority of them were decent things and we decided we would try and do them all. We also decided to start from scratch even if we had done them already, which means I have to go bungee jumping again. I will scratch them out at they get completed.
List after the jump...

The List:
  1. Hike The West Coast Trail
  2. Dive the Emerald Sea
  3. Hunt for Mythical Monsters
  4. Cycle the Trans Canada Trail in BC
  5. Be Alone with Nature

  23. Whale Watch at Telegraph Cove
  24. Ride the Seven Summits Trail
  25. Witness the Northern Lights
  26. Soak in a Natural Hot Springs
  27. Discover Ancient Petrogyphs
  28. Boat up Bute Inlet
