Harrison Hot Springs is a favorite getaway destination because it’s a lakeside resort atmosphere only two hours from Vancouver, yet it feels like you’re much further away. You’ve got a gorgeous drive through the Fraser Valley to get there, especially if you take the slower and pastoral Hwy 7. You’ve got the charming village of Harrison Hot Springs along the south shore of Harrison Lake with its beaches and promenades, and there are hot springs to enjoy, provincial parks to explore, and mountainous scenery galore.
Westminster Abbey
On the way back to Vancouver from Harrison Hot Springs, we made a short stop at this interesting church perched high on the bluff in Mission City. Westminster Abbey, a Benedictie Monastary, boasts an architecturally unusual church, a soccer field, sports court, and winding paths surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees. The church has beautiful stained glass windows with all the colors of the rainbow.
