Description
Explore Lynn Canyon Park and Pitt Meadows on a guided tour from Vancouver. Hike through a 1,000-year-old forest, cross a suspension bridge, and bike along the Trans Canada Trail.
Begin your day with a leisurely hike through Lynn Canyon Park. Cross the 50-meter-high suspension bridge for panoramic views over the canyon, forest, and raging waters below. Leave the bridge and enter the 1000-year-old forest. Learn some interesting facts about the local flora and fauna and the First Nation’s People who lived in these areas for thousands of years.
Enjoy the crisp, clean air and vivid greens of the Pacific Northwest Temperate Rainforest and begin to feel the tranquility of this magic place. Stroll along the boardwalk and under the canopy of the trees before reaching Lynn Creek and the crystal-clear waters of Thirty Foot Pool.
Following the pools, climb the stairs to the upper trail network and join the Baden Powell Trail to Twin Falls Bridge. Cross the river and make your way back up towards the car park where you began.
Following the hike, return to the bus and take the short 30-minute drive to Pitt Meadows where you will enjoy a fresh and healthy picnic by the Alouette River. After your meal, begin your bicycle ride on the Trans Canada Trail, along the beautiful dikes and riverbank.
Pitt Meadows is located in the lower Fraser valley, 50 km from downtown Vancouver and surrounded by the glorious mountains of Golden Ears and Pinecone Burke Provincial parks. The bike trails that you ride along are 100% flat, smooth riding and vehicle free.
The Trans Canada Trail at Pitt Meadows is a hidden gem, close to the city but free from the masses of people. Appreciate the colorful surrounding farmland, fauna, and blooming meadows as you pedal along the majestic trail. Following your cycle, relax and enjoy refreshments while hopefully enjoying in the warm summer sun for a while.
