See All Lists
1. 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 »
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. South Whidbey State Park
Pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. Loved sleeping under the tall trees with the sound of waves crashing 200 ft below. We were in campspot 12 and 13, where there was actually a fence put up so no one would fall down the ravine and into the…More »
4. 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 »
5. 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 »
6. Samuel P Taylor State Park
We had a hard time committing to Olema campground's expensive lots by the side of the road so we took a chance and drove a little further to Samuel. At $20 it was a great deal. No reservation was required since it was mid-April and nearly empty.…More »
7. Coast Camp - Point Reyes National Seashore
I guess we literally started off on the wrong foot, making a wrong turn and hitting a loop that added another 40 mins onto the one hour walk-in we were already expecting. We also over-packed, making this unknown trek in the dark, through cougar…More »
8. 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 »
9. 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 »
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. Second Wave Surf Snow & Skate
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2E7
(604) 986-9283
Category:
Sporting Goods
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
Place is super cool and kicked back. They let us wax our boards before we went out riding for the day. Can spend a good hour picking through stuff and trying it on. Only disappointment was the Sitka hoodie I bought which doesn't seem to want to…More »
12. Malibu Beach Inn
Spent a magical night with friends on the back patio watching a full moon rise over Malibu. It was January and we pretty much had the place to ourselves, besides a greying couple nearby who were very much in love. The waves were wild and crashing…More »
13. The Flying Beaver Bar
I'm definitely one to chase a view and this one is worth chasing. The building is half airport and half restaurant / pub. It's got a great ski lodge feel with wood beams and wide windows facing the Fraser River where float planes come and go before…More »
14. Mt Baker Ski Area
I love seeing the majestic mountain from Vancouver, even though it reminds me of the night I feel I could've come close to death. Mt. Baker is an inhospitable place, especially when you arrive unprepared as we did. We were to meet a friend in a…More »
