Please note: Although the number of attendees indicated on this page may appear low, be assured that you will be walking with many club members who have not RSVP’d. We rarely have fewer than 15 participants at any of our walks.
Walkers will register (sign in) at the start point between 9:30 am and 9:55 am. The walk will start at 10:00 am sharp. Please be on time; we do not wait for latecomers.
ROUTE DESCRIPTION:
We will head to Coal Harbour and walk counter-clockwise on the seawall around Stanley Park. The 10/11 km Seawall loop around iconic Stanley Park is a “MUST SEE” and “MUST DO” activity in Vancouver. It is one of our series of 8 walks in Stanley Park. It offers breathtaking views of Vancouver harbour, the city skyline, North Shore Mountains & English Bay. This route goes past famous landmarks and heritage features such as First Nations Totem Poles, Brockton Point & Prospect Point Lighthouses, Siwash Rock. There are beaches, rock cliffs and coastal forests of majestic cedar, hemlock and fir trees. You will see popular west coast wildlife, including marine life: squirrels, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, herons, eagles, seals and otters.
There are two 5 km routes: (i) mostly around the east side of the Seawall and back via the Rose Garden (ii) trails to Beaver Lake, then the Aquarium and back via the Seawall.
Immediately following the walk, you may wish to join some of your fellow club members at the nearby lunch venue.
NOTE: Once you have RSVP’d, our Meetup site will always show your status as “Unpaid”. This is not a cause for concern. The $1.00 participation fee for the walk is paid at the start point and we will not be recording on Meetup that you have paid it.
If you have any questions, please post them here on Meetup or send an email to vancouverventurers@gmail.com.
