Best 5 weed hikes in Vancouver

1. BEST 5 WEED HIKES IN VANCOUVER

2. One of the most amazing things about living in Vancouver is its proximity to so much natural beauty. Nestled in a unique corner of the world, this city has beaches, forests and mountains, and all of it within a short drive of the city. This affords Vancouverites lots of opportunities to get out of the city and into nature, even if you only have a few hours to spare. We’ve compiled a shortlist of some of the our favourite hikes near the lower mainland for a quick escape, ranging from easy jaunts to more challenging day hikes. Please remember that any of these hikes are prone to being less accessible during winter months, and you should always consider weather conditions before any hike. Also, bring food and water, tell someone where you’re going, wear appropriate clothing etc. Basically, just come prepared and don’t be a dummy.

3. Quarry Rock Located in the picturesque waterfront community of Deep Cove, this hike is only about a half hour drive from downtown Vancouver, and is very manageable. A public beach park hugs the water, a great spot for a picnic, getting your feet wet, or having a discreet puff before or after your hike. When you drive through North Vancouver to arrive in the sleepy village of Deep Cove, you will see this park along the water on your left. There is a parking lot where you’ll find free parking, but this tends to fill up quickly, especially on the weekends so get there early if you want a spot! The trailhead for Quarry Rock is located on a residential street just above the park, a block or two past the aforementioned public parking lot, on the left-hand side (if you’re confused, just Google it, or ask someone). The hike is about 4km, and the trail is very well maintained. It’s a popular spot, so expect to see quite a few people on the trail, particularly during peak times.

4. Dog Mountain This slightly more challenging hike begins at the parking area for the Mt. Seymour ski area, and offers a spectacular view of the lower mainland. It’s about a 5 km round trip, and speaking from experience, we recommend real hiking boots for this one, as there are lots of exposed roots and rocks on the trail that can make it a bit tricky in a pair of Vans. To get to the trailhead, park in the Mt. Seymour parking lot, and walk to the far northwestern corner of the parking area. You’ll see a BC Parks sign with trail information and maps, then follow a wide gravel trail for about 20 meters, where you’ll see a smaller sign indicating the trailhead going into the trees on your left hand side.

5. Eagle Bluff If you’re looking for something a bit longer, Eagle Bluff also offers a great view with a little more challenge. This hike begins at the parking lot of Mt Cypress’ ski area, and is about 8 km round trip. This trail will take you through some beautiful scenery, including Black Mountain and Cabin Lake. After parking in the ski area’s highest parking lot, walk past the lodge and you’ll see a wooden sign that outlines Cypress’ hiking trails. The trail you’ll follow to Eagle Bluff is actually called the Black Mountain Trail, and passes by Yew Lake, so this is a good point of reference on the map. Once you feel you’ve successfully gotten your bearings, walk towards the nearest ski lift, and look for a trail leading into the trees on your left side; this is the Black Mountain Trail. You will follow this trail’s clearly marked signs, taking a left at the first junction, then a quick right and another left (this is not as confusing as it seems, just follow signs for Black Mountain and you should be fine), and the trail will begin to ascend up a series of switchbacks, and then back into the woods.

6. BCMC Trail In an effort to cover all three North Shore mountains, our third recommendation is located on Grouse Mountain, also easily accessible from Vancouver. You can even take public transit to the base of this trail fairly easily; just catch the seabus at Waterfront Station which will take you across the inlet, and then hop on the #236 bus from Lonsdale Quay. You may have heard of the Grouse Grind, a grueling 3 km uphill climb consisting of wide wooden stairs (it’s sometimes referred to as “Mother Nature’s Stairmaster”). Well, the BCMC trail is its lesser known sibling, located just east of the Grind and beginning in the same parking lot, at the base of Grouse Mountain’s Skyride gondola.

7. Stawamus Chief If you have a bit more time and want to get further out of the city, try taking a trip to Squamish to the Stawamus Chief, a beautiful hiking area and world-renowned destination for rock climbers. About an hour from Vancouver on the Sea to Sky corridor (Highway 99), the Stawamus Chief offers incredible views of Squamish, Howe Sound and the surrounding mountains. It’s a popular spot so be aware that it can be quite busy on weekends, particularly on days with good weather. The Chief is another fairly challenging hike, with some quite steep sections. Be prepared to spend a good portion of your day getting up and back down. There are three peaks here, and you can do all of them in a day if you choose, or for a shorter hike you can climb only the South Peak, which still offers some pretty wonderful views.
