1. “Do” the Seawall

Whether you run, bike, blade, or walk it, a trip to British Columbia would not be complete without a turn on the Seawall along Vancouver’s waterfront. The entire route – from Burrard Inlet to Kitsilano Beach Park – is 22-kilometres, but a great route takes you around Stanley Park and clocks a respectable 8.8-km! The outside track, closest to the water, is for inline skaters and cyclists; the inner track is for runners and walkers. Once you’ve pumped the park, explore the 1000 acres of woods, gardens, flowers and trails and beaches that make up Stanley Park. (Photo courtesy of Tourism B.C.)
