Discover Stanley Park’s Natural Beauty
A visit to Vancouver isn’t a visit without visiting Stanley Park. This 1,000-acre park located near the core of Vancouver charms many visitors with its natural wonders. The vast cedar and fir trees captivate, and you may find yourself surrounded by an air of peace and tranquility. The city, mountains, and ocean can be seen on the 9-kilometer seawall path surrounding the park. Rolling through the park or walking alongside the waterfront, soaking in the wind and ocean mist, is one way to experience Vancouver’s charm.
Hiking in the North Shore Mountains
Easily reached from downtown, the North Shore Mountains provide a breath of fresh air when you’re ready to escape the city’s vibrant neighborhoods. You’ll find trails to hike and paths to stroll, covering the mountains. Challenge yourself to the Grouse Grind before you you reach Grouse Mountain, the Peak of Vancouver above the alpine forest.
