Three hours east of Vancouver, Manning Park is high country paradise. You can drive right into the alpine for great hiking and unbeatable views. The park also houses the westernmost larch forests in Canada. The larch is a deciduous conifer - it loses its needles in the fall. If you catch them at the right time, they are a beautiful golden color. The Manning Park larches are also the oldest trees in Canada. Despite their unassuming appearance, some of them have been around for more than 2,000 years
