Nature
If you enjoy exploring the outdoors
An 11 km drive from our door takes you to the top of Mount Seymour where you will experience panoramic views of Vancouver. Here, you have several hikes to lakes and peaks in the summer, or skiing and snowshoeing in a winter wonderland. For hiking, Dog mountain is not very difficult and you are rewarded with a nice view of the City. Mystery Lake has a bit more vertical but also not too difficult. First, Second and Third Peak are more challenging, but beautiful views if you are up for it.
