BC takes 10 spots on ranking of best viewpoints in Canada

Visitors to Canada are quite taken with the numerous viewpoints in BC, according to a ranking done by Remitly.

Out of the list of 30, BC took 10 spots. With our stunning coastlines and mountains, there’s no shortage of viewpoints to go and fully appreciate beautiful British Columbia.

Remitly analyzed over 483,000 tourist reviews of landmarks and lookouts to build the ranking across Canada.

“Scenic trails stole the spotlight, with over half of the top 30 views found on walks, hikes and lookouts – outshining city and town panoramas,” said the company.

The highest ranked BC spot was Mount Maxwell Provincial Park on Salt Spring Island.
