Stanley Park Seawall Walk | Easy | 9.7 KM | 2.5–3 Hours

This one is less about climbing mountains and more about enjoying Vancouver together. We'll follow the waterfront around Stanley Park with views of Coal Harbour, the North Shore mountains, Lions Gate Bridge, Siwash Rock, Third Beach and English Bay.

This is a great opportunity to get outside, enjoy Vancouver’s waterfront, meet new people, and have some good conversations along the way. Unlike our mountain hikes, there are no major climbs here — just an enjoyable walk with ocean, city, forest, and mountain views.
The route takes us around Stanley Park along the waterfront.
