Spanish Banks and Jericho Beach: Easy

About the hike:

This is a very popular area for mountain biking, road biking, and running, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.

This is a pretty simple trail along the water, with the only challenge being the rocky section of the very end of the Spanish Banks. The whole trail is almost in full exposure with no shade. It has a beautiful panoramic view over the sea-to-sky downtown, and even to North and West Vancouver. This is highly recommended for all hikers and urban nature enthusiasts.
