Description

Added by John Entwistle

Running the seawall at sunset is a true west coast experience - with no elevation gain, it is a fairly easy run for the distance, and there is plenty to distract you from the pain!

Start at either end of Stanley Park, running directly along the pacific ocean on the seawall path. I prefer to run from Coal Harbour to south towards English Bay - a better view, and you can stop at sunset beach for a post-run drink!

Didn’t run it, but rented bikes and rode the sea wall, Stanley park is beautiful, the sea wall possibly being the best part. Make sure you check out the newest addition, the washed up barge !

I didn't have the chance to run the sea wall but also a beautiful place to bike around! Great activity any time of the year. Lots of views all the way around

I really liked this and would definitely bike it if I cam back here. We spent the day jogging and exploring the park. You can also buy tickets for the little cart that takes people around the park, if there are specific places you want to visit. Ended up buying a dreamcatcher.

I didn’t run around, instead of that I was cycling and it’s a very biking path. Amazing place with a beautiful rainforest and amazing geology in every single corner!

Sunset Beach Park

This is a great place for families to relax at. You can kayak or paddle the calm water. There is a paved path running along the beach that is great for jogging, biking, and dog walking. Benches line the park and beach, making it easy to take breaks when needed. This is also where a lot of ferries dock to take visitors to the famous Granville Island.

Photograph the Lions Gate Bridge

Park at the parking lot at Prospect point in Stanley Park to begin your photography adventure. The first photo opp is from the walkway on the Lions Gate, at about the middle of the bridge and looking to the left towards the Seawall. This is the perfect sunset spot.Once it gets dark, head to the bottom of the bridge to take some shots of the bridge lights. If you head there after it rains, you w...

Explore the Capilano Suspension Bridge

This is a great place to visit to get a feeling for the outdoors of Canada. The bridge is a little scary when a lot of people are walking across, but it is well worth the look.Measuring 140 m (460 ft) long, the bridge crosses over the Capilano River in the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and sits 70 m (230 ft) above the river.

Hike Up Brothers Creek Loop

The directions to get to this location are a bit scattered as you need to weave through the upper streets of the British Properties. Driving Instructions If you are coming along Highway #1, take the Taylor Way exit and turn right (coming from the east) or left (coming from the west) onto Taylor Way and drive uphill until you reach a series of roundabouts. Turn left onto Southborough Drive and ...

Photograph the Cleveland Dam

Once you park in the parking lot near the dam, its fairly easy to tell where it is, and how to get there. The awesome spillway looks like one of the worlds most dangerous slides, (don't slide down it), and Capilano Lake and the peaks of the Lions make for a great backdrop in North Vancouver. Photograph the dam, and the cute little green building floating in the lake, and if you are up for it ...

Swim at the Lynn Canyon Swimming Hole

From the last field at inter city park, continue walking down the road to the Lynn Canyon trail. Follow the trail up the wooden boardwalks and to the first open area on the trail. When you can see the creek to your left, head down to the creek. To get to this particular swimming hole, you will have to walk up the creek on the right side about 100 metres, then cross and continue walking up ~100 ...
