Whistler is home to some absolutely stunning hikes and the best part is that there are so many Whistler hikes that there’s something for everyone! Without a doubt, some of the best BC hikes are in Whistler. From easy, mostly flat hikes, to day-long hikes and Whistler backpacking trips there’s enough hiking in Whistler to…
The Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve may not have the fanciest name, but it’s definitely a great place to spend your weekend. There are a tonne of great easy Vancouver hiking trails in this area, a couple of suspension bridges that are way less crowded than Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge or Capilano Bridge, and so many…
Whyte Lake is an easy Vancouver hike that takes you through the forest to a relatively secluded lake. Since the forest shelters you for the majority of the way, it’s a great option for rainy-day hiking in Vancouver, as well as a nice spot when the sun comes out! This is a perfect hike for…
The Belcarra Bluffs and Jack’s Lookout Belcarra Regional Park is one of the best hikes in the area. It makes a great winter hike in Vancouver since it’s mostly always snow-free (apart from a few days of the year). As much as I love winter sports, there comes a time every year when I start…
The Mount Fromme hike in North Vancouver is a fairly challenging hike on the North Shore. The hike winds up through the forests of North Vancouver near popular biking trails like Bobsled, and other Vancouver hiking trails like Kennedy Falls, until you come out to the peak of Mount Fromme. Fromme sits between Grouse Mountain…
Dam Mountain is one of the most popular Grouse Mountain trails. Not only is it accessible during winter via the Dam Mountain snowshoe route, but it’s equally as good in summer too.
Frosty Mountain in EC Manning Provincial Park is a great hike with stunning mountain views. One of the best times to do Frosty Mountain is when the larch trees are turning golden yellow. The Frosty Mountain Manning Park larches hike is one of my most memorable hikes from 6 years of living and hiking all…
The Goat Ridge trail near Chilliwack Lake and Lindeman Lake is a demanding hike with some very steep sections, but it’s well worth it for the views! You don’t even need to go right to the top of the ridge to enjoy the views. As most hikers do, we went to just above the first…
The Mount Crumpit hiking trail in Squamish is a relatively quiet hiking trail that offers great views of downtown Squamish and The Chief. I came across it a few years ago when I was looking for quieter hikes to do in Squamish and it quickly became one of my favourite areas to hike. I also…
If you’ve ever done a hike near Vancouver or skied at Whistler, the chances are you’ve seen a black tusk (or white tusk in the winter) standing out amongst the mountain peaks. I’ve seen it from multiple vantage points around Vancouver, from the North Shore mountains to Whistler Mountain Peak, and have been meaning to…
