After our last breakfast in our Pan Pacific Mountainside Whistler hotel room, we loaded up our Kia Sorento rental and drove to Vancouver, BC.
On the way to Vancouver, we decided to stop at Lynn Canyon Park - instead of Capilano Suspension Bridge. We have been to the Capilano Suspension Bridge many times before but heard that Vancouver's natives prefer to relax in Lynn Canyon Park instead (plus it's free).
Lynn Canyon Park has a much shorter suspension bridge, but it's also lovely. There was a cafe (with free Wifi), and Inna and Alex warmed up on coffee and tea before the hike.
Lynn Canyon is a popular place for locals, as we had a hard time finding parking. It was obviously much less touristy than Capilano.
We decided to take a short hike in the area.
There were scary views of the river below, and I took many pictures. Unfortunately, I had the ISO set on my Canon G15 incorrectly, so most of my photos came out a bit noisy (taken at ISO 3200).
The hike in Lynn Canyon is paved with wooden boards, so walking was very easy.
The vegetation all around was very green, and many mosses were growing all around. It reminded me a bit of the Olympic National Park near Seattle.
We decided to hike the loop between the Suspension Bridge and Twin Falls bridge, along the Baden Powell Trail.
Here is a map of Lynn Canyon Park:
We enjoyed a leisurely 45-minute hike to the Twin Bridges overlook.
The trail ascended upwards at the Twin Bridges and then leveled off on the way back.
There was a deep ravine below with a shallow stream running through it.
As we ascended upwards, we had a nice overlook of the green mossy forest below.
After we finished our hike, we were a bit thirsty and famished.
We made reservations for lunch at Tour De Feast Restaurant and decided to drive there next. It was only a short drive from Lynn Canyon Park in North Vancouver.
Alex had a "Cured Meat Panini" sandwich with potato chips.
I decided to be healthy and ordered a vegetarian dish - "a Veggie Panini." It was pretty tasty.
Inna ordered a "Cured Meat Panini with salad."
