Description
-
Lynn Canyon is one of my favourite places to take guests visiting Vancouver. For those not wanting to tackle alpine walks with significant elevation, Lynn Valley has some great trails that allow you to get out in nature and explore the coastal rainforests of BC. There are many different trails in the area, though this particular figure of 8 loop takes you across Lynn Valley's 3 bridges and conviently passes two cafes. Let's face it, after 2km you deserve a pastry and a coffee.

Navigation

The trail: Well-signed, marked or frequent on trail maps. Always carry a map. Phone signal in BC is not reliable when hiking. Always carry an OFFLINE map. I recommend and use AllTrails+ and Gaia Maps.
Hike Difficulty And Conditions
The trails at Lynn Valley are generally well maintained, with some sections of staircases and bridges. In other areas, the trail is narrower and may involve stepping up over board walks and some branches. Occasional sections cover steep terrain, but these sections are generally short lived.
