★★★☆☆

Enjoy a serene stroll along the New Westminster Walkway, hugging the shimmering Fraser River. The walkway offers ample space for pedestrians and leashed dogs, although certain areas are narrower. Pause at Quayside Park's charming playground before continuing to the bustling River Market where the walkway becomes busier.

★★☆☆☆

Since it's been extremely smokey outdoors in the last couple days, we wanted something that was quick to do and the trail at Confederation Park in Burnaby, British Columbia was exactly what we were looking for.

★★★☆☆

When the sun's shining in British Columbia, one of the things we love to do is hop into a lake to cool off. Belcarra Regional Park is a place for families to spend an afternoon on a lake, at one of their many facilities or doing a hike on a trail!

★★★★☆

Harrison Hot Springs is a hot spot and popular location - a quick getaway known for its relaxing spas and hot water pools. Before you start thinking that the Whippoorwill Point Trail is an extension of the relaxing feeling of the town, think again!

★★★★★

Compared to Chilliwack Lake and Lindeman Lake, Bosuemarne Falls is less popular, but not any less beautiful. Although this hike is more hidden and can be a little tricky getting to the end, the view at the end of the waterfalls is absolutely amazing.

★★★★★

Bridal Veil Falls a beautiful waterfall that is located minutes from the highway with a short 10-minute hike. It is one of our favourite stops in British Columbia and since we were driving past the area, we made our first visit to the falls with our dog.

★★★★☆

The Othello Tunnels are a series of old train tunnels that have been converted into a walking path for public visitors and their dogs. Throughout most of COVID-19, these tunnels have been closed for restoration but have recently opened up again.

★★☆☆☆

There's a unique strip of land off the coast of Richmond that has become a bit of a rite of passage for those who live here. The Iona Jetty is a 4.1km sewage pipe that runs out of the main land and into the water, a path that locals like to take.

★★★★★

We made the trip out to Minnekhada Regional Park, which is about an hour from downtown Vancouver. With three lookouts along the way, this was one of the more enjoyable trails and slightly challenging trails that we've done in the past little while!

★★★★☆

Whenever you're driving through the George Massey Tunnel, you are driving under Deas Island and the body of water that it sits on top of. This week, we visited Deas Island to check out what it really looks like when cars drive into the tunnel under water.

★★★☆☆

One of the neat things about Richmond is that it is surrounded mostly by water on all sides. No matter where you are, you don't have to go very far to take a walk along the water and the Dyke Trail is a great place to do it.

★★★★☆

One of the great things about living in the Pacific Northwest is that you don't have to go very far to wander in the woods. This past weekend, we opted for something a little more woodsy and we loved our time at Byrne Creek Ravine Park.

★★★☆☆

Burnaby Lake is the largest lake in the Lower Mainland and it is situated nearly right in the middle of the city of Burnaby. The lake is a wildlife sanctuary with a rich ecosystem of ducks, geese, beavers with a quiet 10km path going around the lake.

★★★☆☆

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!

★★★☆☆

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.

★★★★☆

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.

★★★★☆

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.

★★★☆☆

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.
