Route Description:
Walk on the Capilano University Campus. Enjoy the vibrant murals, a joint project with the Vancouver Mural Festival to mark the university’s 50th anniversary in 2018. Walk past the North Vancouver Cemetery. Then onto forest trails with thick moss and freshly sprouted mushrooms. The trails include the Richard Juryn Trail, Diamond Trail and the Sea to Sky Trail which goes along Lynn Creek. This walk will take you to Bridgman Park and the new Lynn Creek Town Centre. This is a really beautiful, scenic and nice walk with variety. With the recent heavy rain, there's freshness in the forest and the sight and sound of the rushing waters in the creek. The 6K route will have an option to walk in the Boal Chapel Memorial Garden. Don't miss this walk!
Note: A 1 km portion of the 10 km route goes down a relatively steep trail with tree roots and rocks. Wear sturdy shoes. Bring walking poles if you have them.
