“A hundred times or more I have boarded a ferry from Horseshoe Bay. So many happy memories of holidays on the shores of Bowen Island and Vancouver Island! As for the Horseshoe Bay panorama, it will never lose its attraction. For me the crags and peaks of Howe Sound are the cradle of an abiding interest in mountaineering and outdoor sports. I never tire of viewing the rocky summits and the white lines of the plunging snow gullies.” - Arnold Shives
