コースト山脈のおすすめツーリングルート

This section of the Trans Canada Trail follows the wooded banks of the Coquitlam River through Coquitlam. The mostly gravel path runs through forested river habitat, offering a quiet stretch of trail where the sound of the river accompanies much of the walk. It’s a multi-use route popular with hikers, runners, and cyclists, and several bridges and viewpoints along the way provide good views over the river as it flows through the valley.

From the Eleanor Ward Bridge, you will be suspended high above the flowing waters of the Coquitlam River. The bridge provides a clear view down into the forested river corridor as the river winds through the valley below. It’s a striking vantage point along the route and a great place to pause and watch the river moving through this green stretch of Coquitlam.

A really beautiful place to walk.

A very nice place to walk.

Tucked in the forest just outside Whistler Village, Lost Lake is a beautiful, quiet spot surrounded by tall evergreens and mountain views. It’s a popular spot for swimming and paddleboarding in summer, with trails around its perimeter perfect for hiking and biking. In winter, the area transforms into a snowy network of cross-country ski and snowshoe trails, offering a quiet escape just minutes from town.

The lakes around Whistler, Alta Lake, Nita Lake, and Lost Lake, aren't that great to look at: swimming lakes, built-up areas, etc. Canada has something completely different to offer.

In Vancouver's beautiful Stanley Park, you can admire several totem poles for free. Each one has an explanation, and the path to the pole is signposted.

More infrastructure like this would be very welcome.
