In June, my partner and I spent a weekend at a beachfront cabin on Galiano Island. The Gulf Islands are awesome, because they are all fairly close to Vancouver but far enough away that you are able to completely forget about city life while you are there.
We spent the weekend hiking to hidden beaches, visiting the local Farmers Market, eating ice cream, drinking wine by the ocean, hanging out with the local sea lion population (okay maybe not with, but near) and hiking up to Mount Galiano. My favourite part of the weekend was our time spent on Mount Galiano.

The hike to the top takes about an hour and once you are there, you are rewarded with a beautiful view of Active Pass. We sat up there for hours, eating strawberries, listening to the birds and enjoyed the view! Next time I am there, I definitely want to make it a camping trip so we can sleep under the stars and wake up to enjoy the view at sunrise!
Have you ever visited any of the Gulf Islands? And if so, which one is your favourite?
