    Lighthouse Park - Trail to the lighthouse takes you through a huge old growth forest!

    The forest trails are great, we didn't make it to the lighthouse but still enjoyed this location…read morevery much. There is parking you do have to pay but it's not too bad. Walking around the massive, ancient trees provides a deep sense of peace and wonder. It is scenic and accessible for hiking in the area.

The original lighthouse was wooden and lit in 1875 - this current lighthouse was built in 1912 out of concrete on top of a massive granite boulder. It's still in use today although the light is now automated. You can't access the lighthouse itself - it's closed off by fencing. But there are some buildings surrounding the lighthouse with interesting info signs on the parts they played during WWII. There's also picnic tables if you need a rest or some snacks. The trail up to the lighthouse viewpoint are wide and very well maintained. The entire trail is a moderate loop just over 4 miles long with almost 450 feet elevation gain according to AllTrails. Due to time constraints, we only hiked from the parking lot to the lighthouse viewpoint- it was pretty easy and it's less than a mile to the lighthouse with just over 100 feet of elevation gain. So round trip we did less than 2 miles. There's a large parking lot at the trailhead that's pay-to-park. We paid via QR code on one of the signs easily - we had good cell signal. It was just over $10CAD for about 2 hours so very reasonable.

    Cypress Falls Park - April 13, 2025.

    Last month I went to Cypress Falls Park for the first time with my hiking group. Cypress Falls…read morePark is described as an easy hike, but we were all surprised at some of the steep inclines. To be honest, I didn't particularly enjoy myself the first time due to the unexpected inclines -- while I am able to hike inclines, some members of my group were expecting an easier hike (as that was how it had been described in guide books and online) and found it too challenging. Also, the trails weren't well marked, so we ended up going on the wrong trail. We didn't get lost, but we did not end up where we were expecting, and as a result of the steep inclines and veering off course, we didn't see much of Cypress Falls Park. It wasn't a bad hike, but it wasn't one of my favourites. Because of the disappointing experience, I planned another hike at Cypress Falls Park a couple of days ago. Now that I was aware of the conditions, I was able to warn members of my hiking group that it was not super easy hike, and I brought my recently purchased hiking poles, which were very helpful. I had a much better experience the second time, and I had the opportunity to explore many more of the trails, so I felt like I actually got to see Cypress Falls Park. Cypress Falls Park is isn't big, and the guide books accurately describe it as a 1.5 hour hike. Including walking at a fairly slow pace, stopping for a break, and stopping to take photos and discuss the differences between lichens and moss, it took us 2 hours, and we purposely took our time to lengthen the hike. There's nothing wrong with short hikes, but the transit trip there is not worth it. There is one bus, the #253, that stops minutes from the trail head, but it only runs once an hour, and due to the winding route, what would be a 10 minute drive is over 30 minutes by bus (and this is why people hate transit!). And this doesn't even include the long transit trip to connect to the #253 at Park Royal Mall. Is Cypress Falls Park nice? Sure, but it's not long enough or challenging enough for me to transit 1.5+ hours each way. And the first time I went, we had to wait 45 minutes for the bus back, but the second time we thankfully had a driver who could drive us all back to Park Royal. In summary, beautiful hike, but very short and not challenging enough, and while technically transit accessible, it's a pain in the ass to get to by bus. I recommend Cypress Park Falls for people wanting a short, easier hike (but who can do a few short, steep inclines -- people with mobility issues would find it challenging), and who drive or can get a ride. Other things things to note: the only washroom is a disgusting port-o-potty in the parking lot. (Although not as disgusting as the port-o-potties at Lighthouse Park.) [Yelp collections: Hiking]

    Lots of woods, big rocks and things to see. Stay on the trail or do a little off trail exploring.read more

    This is one of my favorite walking spots in West Vancouver. It is an easy walk as it is flat…read moregrounds with benches scattered every few hundred meters along this 1.7 km stretch (18th street to Dundarave Park). I usually walk further out to Ambleside so it will be over 2 km one way. It is beautiful by the waters, especially during sunset. I am more of a stroller as I like to walk, stop, take pictures or rest, and move on. There are also poke gyms and poke-stops if you are into PoGo. Parking is available at Dundarave or Ambleside areas, and virtually everywhere on the street. You can also leave the seawalk anytime as there are a few breaks where you can walk out. Highly recommended if you do not want to hike, and just want a simple and easy walk by the water.

    What a fabulous day in Vancouver! We took another peaceful walk along the Sea Wall on the north…read moreshore, aka. Centennial. Beginning at the foot of 15th Avenue in West Vancouver, you find a pebble beach with dramatic views of the Bridge, Stanley Pk. and the city of Vancouver. The large ships dwarf the passage and their wake licks at the shore in a rhythmic tantra. Sea birds fly around really making this one of my favourite places to meditate. Walking West along the water on the foot path all the way to the 2nd pier, (over by the Beach Cafe) is approximately 2.5 k. Good news for people with pups: It looks like they may allow one week per month when dogs are actually able to walk ON the path instead of the other side of the fence! Enough people must have come together for that change to happen.
