items Hikes that I've done in British Columbia that I recommend! Having grown up in the sea to sky I've spent many days in the coastal mountains and I hope you will too!
Beautiful hike between Lilloet and Pemberton. Accessible in both summer and winter with insane views all year long. I recommend spring or fall to avoid the masses
Joffre Lakes
The first hike I ever did on Vancouver island. Located between Port Alberni and Tofino this is very doable day hike with a stunning view of triple peak and the ocean
5040 Peak
Located between Whistler and Squamish, this hike is a grind but well worth the effort. 360 view of Garabaldi lake and Black Tusk.
Panorama Ridge
The Chief overlooks the Squamish Valley and Howe Sound. With multiple hikes to choose from you can decide the distance you wish to hike.
Squamish Chief
This hike itself is mostly in the forest with a lot of elevation gained in a short amount of time. There isn't much of a view until you arrive at the lake. Located between Pemberton and Whistler, this hike gets a lot of traffic in the summer for good...

Semaphore Lakes

Tenquille Lake
Located in Garabaldi park between Whistler and Squamish. This hike is far but has beautiful view after the first 6ish km of switchbacks. Plan it right and hike Panorama ridge in the same trip!
Black Tusk
The iconic mountain overlooking the Pemberton valley. The first 5 km is very steep in the forest with no view but after that the views are absolutely insane
Mount Currie
