    Had a guided mountain bike ride for my teenage boys and myself. Guide was great, their Norco…read morebikes worked great and we saw several outstanding trails. Our guide took us on trails with some climbing, Single track, 20+ bridges , lots of jumps, wooden skill stuff and overall a great ride in a beautiful area. Had a great time, a bit sore this morning...... Boys wanted another ride!! Would recommend it!!

    Okay everybody this is British Columbia,Squamish BC to be exact. There is a famous slogan, "Do as…read morethey do in Rome". So when in BC get up and and let your inner ruggidness out and enjoy the fury of the wild. That said I am so glad I did not spend time in Vancouver all day. Since I am an AAA member and they do have an account with Viator, I looked at various activities I could possibly do in BC like fishing, rafting etc. However, I remember that waves can be very strong in September in this area around this time, and if you want to go fishing I have to call and pay for a British Columbia fishing permit. So I decided to do a kayaking trip and I had such a blast. Now I could have gone to Whistler, but choose Squamish as my destination because it was closer to Vancouver (65km north of Vancouver). Upon my arrival I met two professional and highly adept representatives of "Sea To Sky Adventure". The first woman I met was Elise ( Sorry if I got the name wrong). Elise was a very kind and capable driver. Second woman was my instructor and tour guide Amy. Elise drove us across town to Howe Sound. Once we got to Howe Sound I learned I was the only person in this tour so I had a lot of time. This was when Amy took over. Amy thoroughly instructed me on maneuvering the kayak on to Howe Sound and let me tell you it was gonna be the beginning of a memorable trip. As we proceeded into the water, we kayaked all around the bay. Amy did a great job in making sure that I am safe. She not only instructed me on getting around in the Kayak, but also guided be around Squamish. She showed me "The Chief" a significant granular structure, Shannon Falls, the import ships, the gondola that goes up the mountain and the estuary. We also saw a Harbor Seal popping its head above the water as well I just had such a blast the weather was calm. It was early in the morning and the place was placate and serene. As I learned from Amy morning times are the best time for kayaking because waves are much more subtle and therefore easier on the arms. That whole morning was like an escape from the real world of pressure, Type A personalities, and malicious cadiness of our 9-5 lives. Thank you Sea To Sky and most of all thank you Amy for being an outstanding Kayak instructor and tour guide and Elise for being a great driver as well.

    My friends and I had a few days to spend in Vancouver after our Alaskan cruise. We had seen free…read morebuses for Grouse Mountain while we were at Canada Place so we decided to hop on for the ride. The website said that the bus ride was intended for those who already had tickets purchased in advance. We had not yet bought our tickets but the driver did not ask to see tickets so we just boarded the bus. Once we arrived we found there were several activities that were included with the mountain access ticket. There was a long line to purchase tickets, and it moved very slowly. So I pulled out my phone and purchased our tickets online so we could skip the line. You can choose either the gondolas or the sky ride to the top. We chose the gondolas, and it was a fun ride with outstanding views. The windows of our gondola were dirty and scratched which did reduce the visibility and did affect our enjoyment of the views. Activities included mountain biking, hiking, zip line, a roller coaster, nature shows, and a lumberjack show. Grouse Mountain could easily be an all day experience, but we only had a few hours as we had to meet friends for dinner. So we didn't get to experience the zip line or roller coaster. The bird show was interesting and informative. The birds seemed to enjoy the applause. The bear refuge habitat was very nice and the bears seemed quite content. We watched them for quite some time as they were very active. The lumberjack show was actually entertaining. We hadn't really planned to watch it but the show started just as we were walking by so we sat down and ended up enjoying it. The only real issue was that the restaurant had a long line, slow service, and a limited menu. Some of the items on the menu were not available. We thought the food was expensive and not very good. We waited a long time after ordering for our food. We were here on a weekday afternoon so I can imagine that the line for food would be even longer and slower on weekends. Overall a nice experience. We thought the mountain access ticket was a good value, and only the restaurant was overpriced. It was not a perfectly clear day but we were still able to see Mt. Rainier. I would recommend purchasing tickets before you arrive to avoid the long line for admission tickets.

The lumberjack one was cool. Walked around and took in the views . Had a bevvie, great espresso martini and snack, mini samosas, at the restaurant, Altitudes bistro, which had great views too and nice lodge feel. Nice place outside of the city to take great pics and get out of the busy life.

    Great customer service. They had the bike dialed the moment I arrived. I called a few weeks in…read moreadvance, and Jeremy went above and beyond with his support. Typically, bike shops max out the PSI on the suspension and tires to protect the bike (and punish the rider), but this shop did the complete opposite. I rented a Trek Slash, and it was very impressive how perfectly the bike was set up for my weight and size. I was in and out quickly during both the checkout and check-in processes. I highly recommend them

    Thank you RideHub for one of the best trail days in my 10 years of riding!!…read more I flew to BC to visit family with no expectations of having a chance to ride. However, the dirt gods smiled and I managed to sneak away to Squamish for an afternoon. RideHub was able to work me into their schedule on short notice. Knowing that I did not have any gear, they provided everything I needed: bike, helmet, pads, water. They even had some trail snacks to share with me! Sara took me on half-day tour of the lushest forests I've ever ridden. She did an phenomenal job of picking trails that both matched my ability level and provided a tasty sampling of classic Squamish features. From steep berms to skinnies to iconic slabs, it was a mountain biking dream come true. We ran into a kids from the RideHub summer camps and the lot of us hooted and hollered down the mountain together. I've done a few mountain bike destination trips to other places and rental bikes are a mixed bag. A big shout out to RideHub mechanic Freddy! My Norco Sight Carbon performed flawlessly. He helped me dial in the suspension and the bike did not give me a single problem. Drivetrain shifted well, brakes modulated and were silent, suspension squished when I needed it to squish, dropper was smooth. Really top notch mechanic and a wonderfully maintained machine. Finally, major props to SORCA, the local trail advocacy group. So many trails and they were all in such prime condition. I would not hesitate to recommend RideHub to people of all ability levels. Sara is great at picking the right route for your ability level, she is a great coach, and she an awesome ride partner. Great memories. Yew!!!

    A mutual friend living in Vancouver described this trail as "endless" and "disgusting". "You should…read morego if you're into that sort of thing." With that glowing endorsement, this was by far top on my list which probably speaks volume. I had originally planned on going a day after arriving, though the weather was near perfect so that I couldn't resist going after checking into my room. I took the 236 bus up which conveniently stopped at the base of the mountain. Folks were performing deep stretches and breathing exercises at the trailhead in preparation, a sign of things to come. When I started, I paced a hiker in front of me for a while before overtaking her. Naturally, another hiker came up from behind and steadily passed me. Intense concentration from everyone made the hike a fairly quiet one with occasional nods of empathy from those taking an extended break. Markers along the way tell you when you are 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of the way up along smaller fractional markers out of 40. Beyond the 1/4 marker, downhill hiking is no longer permitted, though I noticed a handful of hikers doing just that. In total, my time was 1:07. In between the sweating and the panting, lush forest trees and bright purple foxgloves made the experience a visual delight. Heading back down via gondola, I had a chance to talk with someone who has been doing the grind for years and still loves it. Next time I would try the BCMC to compare but consider me a fan.

    THE BIG: Located in North Vancouver, past the capilano bridge. Plenty of parking in the paid lots…read moreand free street parking down the hill. THE BLACK AND WHITE: This is a grueling hike. Think stairmaster but for an hour. The first time my wife and I did it, we got 59 minutes. This second round, we beat our time. I channeled my inner billy goat and hiked it in 56 minutes. There is a scanner at the bottom of the hike and top of the hike that you can scan to get a more accurate reading of your hike. I recorded everything on my apple watch. The trail is beautiful, plenty of temperate rainforest to see and markers to show half way, 3/4 way and it gets brighter as you approach the top. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, this is a very hard hike but the reward is worth it. Free to hike up and there is no way down except to buy a tram ticket that is around 20 CAD.
