    This is a great post for out-of-town (out of country) visitors like me, who like to hike during vacation. You sorted the trails that can’t be missed during a visit to Vancouver. I like the Stanley Park Seawall Path with its diverse points of interest along the trail. But I also like the challenge of Grouse Grind. I surely won’t miss this one. Probably taking a gondola down. Haha.

  2. Your post has me ready to lace up my hiking boots and hit the trails! From the challenging Grouse Grind to the serene and easier Lighthouse Park Viewpoint Loop, it seems like Vancouver has something for every hiker. And the fact that many of these hikes are easily accessible from the city is a huge bonus. I appreciate your detailed trail recommendations. I honestly didn’t realize there was so much natural beauty that surrounds Vancouver. Can’t wait to tackle these hikes and soak up the stunning scenery when I visit the city one day.

  3. I am yet to visit Canada, but as someone who loves hiking and the great outdoors, these trails all look great to me. Having never seen a totem pole in real life, I would love the Stanley Park trail and also to sail high above the hills on the Grouse Grind gondola ride looks like fun. With scenery in Vancouver as cool as this you can’t go wrong whichever hike you choose.

  4. I love that there are so many hikes near Vancouver City, making it so easy to escape in the nature when you need some “me” time. The Grouse Grind sounds like a great hike. I would do it the other way around, take the gondola up, and walk it down. It sounds easier this way. I would definitely like to explore Acadia and Wreck Beach, especially that you can both walk and swim here. It’s perfect combination for a relaxing day out. Stanley Park Seawall Path sounds pretty cool, if you love ships. I’ve never walked on a path that followed a harbour, with a view towards the container ships coming in and out.

  5. I love Vancouver city and Stanley Park! The Stanley Park Seawall Path is one of the best hikes. There are other attractions to check out at Stanley Park as well. Grouse Grind sounds tough meant for more seasoned and fitter hikers. The trail around Lighthouse Park looks interesting plus wildlife watching adds to the attraction. Must visit Vancouver once again and check out all the hikes. 🙂

  6. Liivng in theplains with a semi-arid geography, anything with trees and trails is exciting. If I get a chance, I would go for the seawall trail, Queen Elizabeth Park and the lighthouse viewpoint loop. I have developed a deep inetrest in birds, so seeing the avian sanctuary would be such a pleasure. I would also enjoy the sound of water and the vistas of land on the shore. It all sounds so dreamlike.

  7. We visit Vancouver regularly and have kids who love to hike with us. So it was good to check out your list of hikes near Vancouver for some new options for return visits. Despite having it on our list for each visit, we have yet to go up on Grouse. And I am not sure we could even manage the Grouse Grind if we got there. We have not yet done the Acadia and Wreck Beach walk yet. But did finally do the Lighthouse Park – even if we did not do all the hiking paths. Good suggestions for a return trip.
