About us

Embrace the mist with the Pacific Compass Collective, Vancouver’s premier community for coastal navigation and temperate rainforest exploration. We specialize in "micro-orienteering" within the city’s lush greenbelts and technical shoreline terrain. Our group attracts a diverse mix of mountain athletes, tech-savvy navigators, and nature lovers who enjoy the challenge of dense canopy coverage where GPS often fails. Every weekend, we head out to master the art of the contour line and the compass needle. From the rugged cliffs of Lighthouse Park to the hidden trails of Stanley Park, we transform the Pacific Northwest into an intricate biological puzzle. Join us to find your flow in the ferns!

The Deep Cove Emerald Labyrinth
Sat, May 23 · 9:00 AM PDT
Panorama Park, https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Panorama+Park/@49.3279166,-122.9513473,221m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x54867a528191db91:0x4f3cc2, North Vancouver, BC, CA
Test your instincts at the Deep Cove Emerald Labyrinth, a technical orienteering challenge set in the moss-draped heights of North Vancouver. This event is unique for its verticality; you won't just be navigating North and South, but managing significant elevation gain through classic BC granite outcrops and second-growth cedar forests.
Event Highlights:
Location: Panorama Park Trailhead, Deep Cove.
Time: Saturday, 9:00 AM.
Terrain: High-density vegetation with steep, rewarding coastal views.
The Challenge:
Participants must locate 15 hidden controls scattered across the mountainside. Because the thick rainforest canopy can scramble GPS signals, your success depends on reading the land—identifying boulders, gullies, and root mounds. Whether you’re racing for the fastest time or just enjoying a guided stroll through the woods, this is the ultimate way to experience the North Shore outdoors.
