Having lived in Vancouver for around 7 years, I know exactly what to expect when it comes to spring in Vancouver. Vancouver in spring is when the city comes alive again after what’s usually many months of rain. Sure, the spring is still rainy too (there’s a reason we refer to June as June-uary!), but…
The Watersprite Lake trail is one of the best Squamish hikes and among the best hikes near Vancouver. It’s a long hike that requires a 4×4 (or at least a car you don’t care about) to get to but the view of Watersprite Lake is so worth it. It’s one of the best hikes near…

Every time I go back to Whistler I discover some new…
