The Ultimate BC Hiking Guide: 50+ Hikes + Backbacking Locations

I Just Dropped My First Ever BC Hiking Guide!

Over the past few years, I’ve hiked through alpine meadows, swam in glacier-fed lakes, cried on summits, and camped under stars across British Columbia. I’ve also spent hours answering DMs like “Where was this photo taken?”, “Do I need a permit for this campsite?” or “How do I get to that lookout?”

So I finally put it all in one place.

✨ I just launched my first-ever Rexby guide : a curated list of 50+ of my favourite hikes, lakes, campsites, cabins, and backcountry gems across BC.

It’s organized, visual, scrollable, and full of the details I wish I had when I first started exploring. Whether you're planning your first overnight or mapping out a full-on road trip, I built this for you.

What’s Inside the Guide

You’ll find:

  • 📍 50+ hiking and adventure destinations across BC

  • 🏞️ Trail stats (distance, elevation, type)

  • 🛶 Lakes, summits, cabins, campsites & hot springs

  • 🗺️ Permit info + gear tips

  • 📸 Best photo spots at each location

  • 🔗 AllTrails links included for every hike

These aren’t just the trending spots — they’re places I’ve actually been, loved, and want to share with you. Some are well-known, others are the kind of hidden gems you only hear about if a local spills the beans.

Why I Made It

Honestly? I wanted to create a resource that actually helps. Not another vague listicle or over-filtered feed, but something useful. Something personal. Something that brings the magic of BC’s outdoors to your screen and helps you step out into it.

I’ve also made a point to include access notes (like if you need a high-clearance car), avoid places where overtourism is a concern, and highlight the Leave No Trace principles that matter so much to me.

Who It’s For

  • New hikers looking for clear, trustworthy beta

  • Solo adventurers craving inspiration

  • Road trippers with a few days to explore

  • Locals who want to find somewhere off the beaten path

  • Photographers and creators who want dreamy views and trail stats in one place

Basically — if you’ve ever scrolled my feed and thought, “I wish I could go there” — now you can.
