1. Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge
North Vancouver, BC V7J 3G3
(604) 990-3755
Just needed to get out of the house and burn off some steam Sunday and this piece of paradise was the perfect place. Got there about 6PM so it was relatively quiet, and could've had the place to ourselves til 9 if we'd wanted.
As mentioned you can…More »
2. Whistler Disc Golf Course
I coulda spent all day on this course...not just because it's a super long 27 hole course and I'm still kinda sucky at disc golf... but because I love the ruggedness of the surroundings. It's a trek to get there, even after you park, but so worth…More »
3. The Munin Viking Ship
Vancouver, BC V6J 1A2
(604) 435-0296
The Munin is a 40ft replica of a Norwegian viking ship. We found it one day on a stroll by Heritage Harbour, just behind the Maritime Museum. For a donation you can go aboard for a ride. We booked a couple days in advance, got a 1PM time slot and…More »
4. Bowen Island Sea Kayaking
I was super impressed with BISK. They were accommodating and informative right off the bat. No problem booking me and 3 friends for a kayak lesson a few days in advance, they just required 50% down. Once we got there I was equally happy. Right…More »
5. Deception Pass State Park
Deception Pass is the gateway to the incredible island called South Whidbey. Just 2 hours plus border cross time from Vancouver, BC, it's a great getaway, especially since you don't have to be troubled booking ferries. The camp has sooo many spots.…More »
6. Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain
Brilliant place to get away and relax. In true Scandinavian fashion you go through the circuit of hot and cold water outdoor baths, where your heart rate will raise and lower while toxins flush through your skin.
The picturesque spa is nestled within…More »
7. Vancouver Art Gallery
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2H7
(604) 662-4700
Categories:
Museums,
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Downtown
While it's no MOMA - I didn't leave feeling so inspired I imagined I would become the world's next Warhol - I was impressed with the projects they'd brought in. First floor: stodgy Dutch masters. Seen it, done it, kinda bored with it. Plus they…More »
8. Cat Lake
Showed up Saturday with no camp spot but met some cool new friends on the lake and were welcomed into their campground. Park Ranger gave us some hassle about it but we paid our $13 per car and he let it slide. The place was pretty packed, despite…More »
9. Bloedel Floral Conservatory
If you're a bird lover Bloedel won't disappoint. They have 3 perched birds who seem used to interacting with their fans. They'll probably speak to you too if you're looking for a little bird love. Though other birds are running about, chirping…More »
10. Cycling Metro Vancouver
On Sunday I was headed to EPIC (a sustainable living expo) at the Convention Centre. On their website they listed a bike valet service and a link to "Cycling Metro Vancouver", a map for cyclists in the city. I'd used the web page before and didn't…More »
11. The Boardroom Snowboard Shop
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2K4
(604) 985-9669
Category:
Sporting Goods
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
I could spend hours here, actually I think I did. So many sections: girls, guys, skate, sale, repair. I didn't find the snowboard jacket I was looking for but no one In Van seems to have it. We did find skate shoes, snowboard boots, a sick helmet…More »
12. Fitness World Fitness Centres
Vancouver, BC V6K 4L9
(604) 742-4441
Category:
Fitness & Instruction
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Shopping around for gyms in the neighborhood led me here. "Do you have a few minutes?" for a tour, I was asked. "Sure." About and hour and a half later I was out of there. No workout, just a chat, a measurement and a tour. Kinda overkill. Went…More »
13. Surf Junction Campground and RV Park
After our group of 12 got "evicted" from nearby Long Beach campground for not dispersing into groups of 4, we quickly found Surf Junction, a welcoming and wide open campground with a chill vibe. We got a great spot beside a huge grassy area (with…More »
14. Granville Island
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 685-8335
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
I feel spoiled living so close to Granville Island. I've gotten so used to going, a weekend doesn't seem complete without a visit. I can get almost anything I need here. Today I picked up art supplies, sea asparagus, had a lobster BBQ and inquired…More »
15. Kitsilano Community Centre
I've gone for several gym visits and always feel satisfied when I leave. The equipment is kept well-maintained and clean, there are sign-up boards to help with busy periods, a couple different rooms with gym equipment, TVs, co-ed sauna and a hot-tub…More »
