For hilly terrain go to Mount Seymour for higher altitude spectacular views. (sometimes the chairlift is open in summer for the initial steep climb) Try to pick a day with wind in the summer heat because of the smog, endless mills, smog from the U.S. and forest fires. Flat ground Burns Bog in east Richmond is nice. UBC trails. (beware of nude beach) Go down to the Iona discharge pipe 4.5 kms out into Georgia Strait walkway is on top of it, open to the public. (Right by the airport you go farther and farther out and look for Killer Whales etc. perfectly flat.) Its a great place to let the ol spirit soar in the ocean breeze. Tons of sea birds you dont see in town. Dont wimp out and make sure you walk right to the end to elevated observatoy. Lots of heavy ship traffic too. Washrooms at the end also.

The lakes take a pair of week to canoe/kayak around, with many campsites to stay at each and each night. you will meet different persons from worldwide huge there, and it fairly is not a confusing trip. Tofino is likewise perfect, and in assessment to something you will see interior the decrease Mainland. you have no longer rather seen the sea till you spot the west coast of Vancouver Island. lease a cabin on the water, fantastically interior the autumn, while the storms are available off the sea. you may additionally decide for to take the ferry as much as the Queen Charlotte Islands. it fairly is yet another of BC's maximum original and perfect places. If those are not precisely your type. Head into the Okanagan. climate you like boating, golf, mendacity on the coastline, lounging in warm springs, or taking vineyard excursions, there is something for you there. interior the iciness, there is likewise lots of snowboarding accessible besides.

In the Maple Ridge area there are a variety of hiking areas for different interest levels. Trails in the Goldens Ears Park, UBC Research Forest, Kanaka Creek, and along the Alouette. Often the trails have to be shared with horse and riders.

The Grouse Grind in North Vancouver is a popular workout.
Also, Elk Mountain is great to hike and there is a beautiful view from the top.

I agree with getting the book 105 hikes - it is awesome and provides the difficulty level and time needed for each hike.
Makes me homesick just thinking about it.:0(
Have fun, tell somewhere where you are going to hike each time and be safe.:0)

Lynn valley. Go to the suspension bridge and once you're over there are miles of trails that are really easy. It isn't crowded either.
