Another option is to fly a bit inland, perhaps to Abbotsford. You can
rent cars there, then drive up the Fraser river to Hope and north to
Boston Bar.


If you want to explore the Fraser River Canyon area (north of Hope), and
grass runways don't scare you, Hope has a very, very nice 3900' grass
strip; it's a little ways out of town, but there's a clean little Pilot's
Lounge w/ phone to call a cab.


Grass runways don't scare me but they do scare my Mooney (the ground
clearance between the bottom of the tire and the gear door is about
1.5 inches)
