I've Tried Thousands of Outdoor Adventures Near Vancouver. These Are My Top 10 - Explore Magazine

A Vancouver-based outdoors roundup highlights a selection of adventures by expanding beyond Metro Vancouver and focusing on day-trip favorites across British Columbia. The author, who previously wrote “100 Things to Do in Vancouver Before You Die,” describes a list built from years of exploring the region, including hikes, kayaking, and biking routes. Among the experiences, she points to the Greenheart TreeWalk at UBC, which features 10 suspension bridges inside the botanical garden, and the Squamish Via Ferrata over Howe Sound, built around fixed cables, iron rungs, and granite views. For cycling, she highlights the 28-kilometre Seaside Greenway linked to the Stanley Park Seawall. She also revisits Cascade Falls Regional Park near Mission for its 30-metre waterfall viewed from a suspension bridge. The article begins to move into a “true West Coast sauna and cold plunge” experience, but the provided text cuts off before details.
