Snowbird Pass in Mount Robson Provincial Park is without a doubt one of the best Mt Robson hikes to add to your trip if you’re planning on doing the Berg Lake trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park. If you’re looking to spend a bit more time exploring the area after you’ve seen Berg Lake, save…
Hiking the Berg Lake trail is one of the best multi-day backpacking trips I’ve ever done. When our friends managed to reserve campsites on BC’s Berg Lake trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park, I jumped at the chance to join them. The trail, on the far side of BC near Jasper National Park, was one…
The Stawamus Chief trail is perhaps the most popular hike in Squamish and for good reason. This epic hike gives you amazing views of the Howe Sound and downtown Squamish, the Tantalus Range, and is also quite fun to hike! Sure, it’s pretty strenuous since you start with a long series of steps, but after…
Rice Lake in North Vancouver is one of my favorite places to go for a rainy day hike or a short trail run at any time of year. The lake itself is beautiful and the forest goes on and on and is full of trails for you to explore. The area surrounding Rice Lake –…

The Bowen Lookout hike is my go-to when I just need a short, easy hike near Vancouver with a great view. I’ve done this hike so many times that I’ve lost count and it’s where I take friends who are visiting the city, or the place I suggest when friends and I just want to…
Hiking Mount Strachan in Cypress Provincial Park is one of the best hikes in Vancouver, British Columbia. Mt Strachan is the highest peak of the Cypress Bowl Ski Area and one of the least well-known hikes too. Having done this hike twice (one in a whiteout and another in the summer with some incredible views),…
The Eagle Bluffs hike in the Cypress Mountain ski resort area is one of the best hikes in Vancouver BC and one that I’ve now done many a time. I’ve even ski toured out this way though on that occasion I stopped at Black Mountain since navigating the forest on skis is tricky! Cypress Mountain…
With so many hikes in Vancouver knowing which are the best hikes in Vancouver can be difficult. You want to make sure it has the views you’re after and isn’t too far out of your comfort zone while being just enough to push you. In case you hadn’t realised by now, one of my favourite…
