Excursions in North Vancouver

Hey there, adventure seekers! Are you ready to explore the breathtaking beauty of North Vancouver? Look no further than Foxiepass, your friendly neighborhood tour guides. We're here to show you the hidden gems and must-see spots that make our corner of British Columbia so special. So, grab your hiking boots and let's dive into some of the incredible places you can visit with us!

Grouse Mountain: The Peak of Vancouver

First up on our list is the iconic Grouse Mountain. Trust me, folks, this isn't just any old hill. We're talking about a year-round playground that'll knock your socks off! In the summer, you can hike the famous Grouse Grind (aka "Mother Nature's Stairmaster") or take the scenic Skyride to the top. Once you're up there, the views of Vancouver, the Pacific Ocean, and the Gulf Islands will make your jaw drop faster than you can say "eh?"

But wait, there's more! Winter transforms Grouse into a snowy wonderland. Strap on some skis or a snowboard and carve up the slopes. Or, if you're like me and prefer to keep both feet firmly on the ground, you can go ice skating or snowshoeing. And don't even get me started on the magical Light Walk – it's like stepping into a winter fairy tale!

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park: Walk on the Wild Side

Next up, we've got the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Now, I'll be honest with you – if you're afraid of heights, this might not be your cup of tea. But for the rest of you thrill-seekers, boy oh boy, are you in for a treat!

Picture this: you're walking across a 450-foot long bridge, suspended 230 feet above the rushing Capilano River. The bridge sways gently (okay, sometimes not so gently) as you cross, and you're surrounded by towering evergreens. It's like being in an episode of "Planet Earth," but you're the star!

And that's just the beginning. The park also features:

• Treetops Adventure: A series of seven suspension bridges attached to 250-year-old Douglas firs
• Cliffwalk: A heart-pounding walkway clinging to the granite cliff face
• Canyon Lights: A winter festival that turns the entire park into a twinkling wonderland

Lynn Canyon Park: Nature's Hidden Gem

Now, if you're looking for something a little more off the beaten path (and easier on the wallet), let me introduce you to Lynn Canyon Park. This place is a local favorite, and for good reason!

The star of the show here is the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge. It's not as long as Capilano, but at 160 feet above the canyon, it still offers plenty of thrills. And the best part? It's absolutely free!

But don't just cross the bridge and call it a day. Oh no, my friends, there's so much more to explore. Take a dip in the crystal-clear (and refreshingly cold) 30 Foot Pool, hike through lush rainforest trails, or visit the Ecology Centre to learn about the local flora and fauna.

Deep Cove: Kayaker's Paradise

Last but certainly not least, we've got Deep Cove. This charming little village is nestled at the foot of Mount Seymour, and let me tell you, it's a slice of paradise.

Deep Cove is famous for its kayaking, and once you're out on the calm waters of Indian Arm, you'll understand why. Paddle past forested shorelines, keeping an eye out for seals, bald eagles, and if you're lucky, even whales!

After your kayaking adventure, treat yourself to a honey doughnut from Honey's Doughnuts. Trust me on this one – these doughnuts are so good, they should be illegal!

So there you have it, folks – just a taste of what North Vancouver has to offer. And remember, with Foxiepass, you're not just getting a tour guide. You're getting a local friend who can't wait to share the beauty and excitement of our home with you. So what are you waiting for? Let's go explore!
