Hi, I am from Portland, Or here in the Pac. NW. I am planning on traveling to Vancouver this summer (August or July) and have some questions.

Car or train? Will I be able to get outside of vancouver to hike and whatnot if I leave my car at home? How much transportation is there to the more remote areas surrounding Vancouver?

Where are the best places to hike in the area?

How about the electronic music scene? ANy notable festivals or anything. I like psy tance, IDM, drum and bass, and experimental music.

What else is there to do that isn’t too touristy? I check the archives and everyone recommends Stantley Park and the gardens I think.
