Larry Berg Flight Path Park
★★☆☆☆
The Larry Berg Flight Path Park was opened in 2013 and you'll find plenty of plane spotters with binoculars gathering here. Located off of YVR's south runway, the park is right below a path for incoming flights to watch planes as they descend.
Capilano River Regional Park & Cleveland Dam
★★★☆☆
This week, we made a visit to the Capilano River Regional Park, which is located in North Vancouver just past the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The park is bookended by the Cleveland Dam, an impressive structure with rushing water that you can walk on!
Montrose Park/Second Narrows Park
★★★☆☆
While looking for a quieter walk, we ended up at Montrose Park which sits in between the New Brighton Park and Confederation Park with a trail that runs through the park. It's a quiet and low-event park that we recommend to owners of reactive dogs.
Robert Burnaby Park (and Mythical Creatures!)
★★★★☆
What an adventure! Since it was Easter last weekend, we brought Markus to do a little hunt of our own. We made the trip out to Robert Burnaby Park where an artist had spent the past year putting up sculptures located in various areas throughout the park.
Central Park in Burnaby
★★★★☆
A few weeks ago, we visited Central Park in Burnaby, BC and we enjoyed the walk so much that we've gone back a couple of times already. For an urban park located in the city, Central Park gave us so many options for things to do.
Cates Park
★★★☆☆
Last week, we found ourselves at beautiful park within shooting distance of Deep Cove at Cates Park in North Vancouver. We really enjoyed the time we were there including the views and the short trail that we got to do.
Queen Elizabeth Revisited
★★★☆☆
As one of the most well-known and beautiful in the world, Queen Elizabeth Park is one that we find ourselves regularly visiting. Rather than going around the outside of the park, we decided to cut through its gardens this time around!
Britannia Shipyards
★★★☆☆
On one of our recent walks with Markus, we strayed out of Steveston Village and what we found ourselves walking through a historical tour, discovering the beautiful rich history of early workers in Richmond, British Columbia.
Pacific Spirit Regional Park (Reactive Dog-Friendly)
★★★☆☆
Unlike other trails at Pacific Spirit Regional Park, this smaller section of the park is a dedicated leash-required area, which is absolutely fantastic for reactive dogs like Markus.
Horth Hill Regional Park
★★★☆☆
Horth Hill Regional Park is 5 minutes away from the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal, which is perfect if you're looking to spend some time before your sailing. The park is a combination of smaller trails, which allows you to choose the length of your hike.
Holland Point Park
★★★☆☆
Victoria is unique in that it offers beautiful walks along the water and dog-friendly beaches within walking distance of downtown. We made our way past Beacon Hill Park to walk down Dallas Rd. and visit the beach at Holland Point Park.
Mystic Beach
★★★★☆
On a recent trip to Cowichan Lake, we took an afternoon to do a combination of a hike that took us down to the mysterious Mystic Beach with its cascading cliffs and view of the Pacific Ocean from a distance.
Sombrio Beach
★★★★☆
We took some time to visit Sombrio Beach, one of the beaches along the western-most coast of Vancouver Island. Sombrio Beach is a popular spot, but the thing that drew us to the beach was a hidden secret!
Cultus Lake
★★★☆☆
Cultus Lake is one of those spots in British Columbia that locals love to go camping, swim in the water and relax. We made a stop at the Cultus Lake Beach Off-Leash Dog Park to enjoy the lake and to get Markus' paws wet.
Rainbow Park
★★★☆☆
Rainbow Park runs along the eastern side of Alta Lake, which sits just on the other side of the Sea-to-Sky Highway from Whistler, British Columbia. People also like to visit this park because it's a great place to take dogs for a swim in Barking Bay!
Porteau Cove
★★★★☆
Porteau Cove is a provincial park that's right off of the Sea-to-Sky Highway about 20 kilometres before Squamish. It is known for its views and dynamic sunsets that overlook Howe Sound and the mountains beyond, which is why photographers love this stop.
Newport Beach
★★★★☆
Newport Beach (sometimes known as Oceanfront Park) is a stretch of beach that's tucked towards the edge of Squamish looking out into Howe Sound. The view is spectacular and this is a unique location with a combination of a beach and trail.
Lake Tahoe
★★★★★
We’ve heard so much about Lake Tahoe that when we realized we were passing through the area, we wanted to make a stop just to see what all the hubbub was about. We were blown away and had a great time at Lake Tahoe.
