Lighthouse Park

Participating in physical activity never came naturally to me and I am pretty sure I don't have the ability to run to save my life if I was being chased by a bear or something similar. However, I love to walk and from this I am able to partake in the somewhat easier, less hilly hikes around Vancouver. With this in mind, I thought it was about time I took advantage of the glorious, yet spotty weather we have been having of late and went for a hike this past Sunday with a friend. The destination of choice was Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver, located a short bus ride from downtown. The weather didn't disappoint and neither did the gorgeous views at the many vantage points along the trail. We stopped a few times to snack, admire the scenery and soak up some rays. I really loved the tranquility of it all, amplified by the fact that we were so close yet far enough away from downtown. The hike inspired me to make this a regular outing and maybe one day I will work my way back up to the likes of the Grouse Grind again.
