Vancouver is a wonderful and beautiful place to visit. Individuals who will be traveling through British Columbia on a Canadian train vacation during August or September should be sure to visit this fantastic city on the western coast to enjoy how pretty it is at the end of the season.

Canadian rail tour travelers may enjoy spending time in one of Vancouver's many national parks. Several of these sites are located on the ocean and offer beautiful views and fun activities for the whole family.

Kitsilano Beach Park and Pool is one of the most popular sites in Vancouver, due to its wonderfully sandy expanses and warm ocean water. The park is conveniently located near shops and restaurants and has its own concession stand for individuals who just can't wait for a quick snack. Parents may appreciate that a lifeguard is on duty through Labor Day.

Another fun beach that individuals taking a train across Canada may enjoy visiting is Jericho Beach Park. Located on the southern edge of English Bay, this site is known for its excellent wind surfing conditions.
