DAY TRIPS FROM VANCOUVER

Top Picks:

• Lynn Valley suspension bridge - free alternative to Capilano Suspension Bridge with easy nature walk in North Vancouver (30 min from city)

• Deep Cove - quaint oceanside village on the Indian Arm inlet. Check out Quarry Rock hike, paddleboarding and kayaking tours/rentals, and finish the day with Honeys doughnuts (45 min from city)

• Squamish - outdoor recreation capitol of Canada, has more hikes than you can shake a grizzly bear at! The drive alone will blow your mind. 

• Whistler - host site of the 2010 Olympics. You’ll miss the snow in June, but there are lots of other reasons to visit like the Peak to Peak gondola, Audain Aboriginal Museum, world class mountain biking, hiking and Kelcie's favourite R&R spot - the Scandinave Outdoor Spa.
