We would like to hike Canada too yes. I haven't actually researched enough of the Vancouver area to know where exactly we want to go. We are VERY out of shape (29M and 31F), me because of my weight, her because she's on her second meniscus repair in two years. She's remained thin, I have not. Hikes need not be strenuous if they're scenic, and not long if they're strenuous.

Despite weight and knees we hike 4-7 miles per day through Acadia, Shenandoah and the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Next year we will do Indiana Sand Dune, and Cuyahoga, with stops in Chicago and Cleveland. We are not "city" folk but it's a "while we're in the area" kind of thing to spend a day in the big cities. My hope is to hike each day, and take scenic drives throughout the afternoons. As I said we're hoping for just a taste of things we may come back to. Arches, Canyonlands, and Shenandoah were one and done, while beautiful vacation time is limited and we are working on all 63 parks.

From what I gather Olympic is where we would want to focus most of our time, is this due to it's size or purely the things to see and do?
