Vancouver Hiking & Walking Trails
Known as one of the most beautiful places in the world, Vancouver is the largest city in western Canada. The spectacular mountain scenery behind the waterways of Burrard Inlet makes for a picturesque urban setting.
Although the Vancouver City region contains some of the city's most urbanized areas, there are still large areas of parkland to enjoy and experience hiking and walking in the west coast outdoors. This includes the world famous Stanley Park located right next to the downtown core and made up of a network of forest trails as well as the sea wall, which wraps around the outer area of the park along the water's edge.
Vancouver is the perfect city for outdoor enthusiasts.
