Capilano River Park Hike | Vancouver
Winter in Vancouver is very rainy and grey, a fact I’ve come to accept. So when the sun came out on weekday off work, it was time to make the most of it. A lot of the higher altitude hikes…
Lighthouse Park Hike | Vancouver
What better way to spend a sunny autumn Saturday than on a coastal forest hike? The temperature has dropped massively in Vancouver since I arrived last month, and many days are grey or rainy. We even had snow the other…
