This beautiful running, walking and bicycling trail takes you from downtown Vancouver past the boats moored in the harbour. You run past beautiful forested areas and sandy beaches, all the while soaked in wonderful views of the bay. I ran just past the lighthouse before I turned around and headed back to my hotel, but on bicycle you can go for miles. This is truly one of the most marvelous trails I’ve ever had the pleasure of running.
