Where To Stay And Walk With Your Dog In Richmond, BC
Richmond sits on islands at the mouth of the Fraser River, directly south of Vancouver and home to Vancouver International Airport, which makes it the first or last night in British Columbia for a great many travellers. It is a flat, open city of dyke trails along the river and the sea, with the old fishing village of Steveston at its south western corner and one of the best Chinese food scenes in North America along its main roads. The walking is easy and long, with the mountains of the North Shore in view the whole way. Dogs on a lead are welcome on the dyke trails and in the parks.
