West Dyke Trail's flat terrain that follows alongside the ocean makes it popular with walkers, joggers, and cyclists. The route is a great place to watch the sunset. The trail itself is gravel Trail and is very easy, straight and wide, which is great for people of all ages/skill levels and bringing the family for a picnic (there are benches). Consider bringing sun protectant on hot days as there is little to no shade.

This is the perfect adventure for members in Vancouver looking for a unique experience during their day. The VanDusen Botanical Gardens are a special treat with a plethora of greenery on 55 acres of land. Winding around Forest lake, Shaughnessy Lake, and Heron Lake members will get to explore unique flora. From japanese maples to the meditation garden, from the formal rose garden to the Chilean garden; there is something for everyone! Make sure to bring payment options as the VanDusen...

Queen Elizabeth Park's peaceful gardens are great place to spend an afternoon. In the middle of the city and easily accessible (and free), the park offers paved paths, hills, ponds, and lots of flowers. It's often a bit busy, but it is typically meticulously maintained with beautiful photo opportunities everywhere. You can see the mountains from the lookout by the Bloedel Conservatory. There is also an off leash dog park.

This walk along the Iona Jetty juts into the Strait of Georgia. Along a flat and wide trail, there are abundant ocean views and opportunity to watch the planes take off and land. On especially windy days, bring extra layers and/or hooded jackets to cover your ears. Solid shoes would be best suited on this stone path.

This route begins in Iona Beach Park next to the Fraser River, where washroom facilities and picnic tables are available. Although dogs are not allowed on the main trial, they are allowed on the beach. Appreciate the Sturgeon Bank Wildlife Management Area and Regional Park on this short trail on Iona Island with views of the coast. The North Arm Jetty is currently being altered to include 3 breeches. One has been completed with another one due for completion this year and the 3rd some time...
