Hiking
|
| Vancouver’s most celebrated hike, the
Grouse Grind , can be
a cheek-to-Lululemon-clad-cheek wagon train. About 50 metres east of the Grind
is the BCMC Trail; it’s roughly parallel and ends up at the same place but is
much quieter. The best return on sweat invested (although also spectacularly
busy) is a hike up the Stawamus Chief in Squamish. Raise your arms in triumph on
top of one of the world’s largest granite monoliths or belly-crawl to the edge
and look down the 700-metre face at the climbers below. Matt Gunn’s highly
informative Scrambles in Southwest B.C. and his companion site, have the dirt on
other quality day hikes. |
