Pacific Spirit North

Pacific Spirit Park is a coastal rainforest typical of the Pacific North West. As you wander through these trails, you'll see countless huge trees and be amazed by the variety of mosses and lichen you find hanging from the branches. If you're lucky, you might even see a garter snake (small and harmless).

In the north loop in particular, the trail ventures up from the suggested trailhead and makes its way up towards the ocean at spanish banks. With a cliff top view, you'll have a great vantage point down over English Bay. This trail is pretty easy, but is not quite as accessible as the southern areas of the park, since the trails here are a little more bumpy underfoot and have a little more elevation. Still an easy hike if you have some visitors who want to see some nature without taking on a bigger hike.

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.
