If hiking through the peace of a temperate rain forest is your idea of a perfect day then consider our Vancouver hiking tour.

This hiking tour offers a great chance to explore the North Shore Mountains of Vancouver, British Columbia and their trails.

Of course you're wearing comfortable shoes and carrying water. And it's no surprise that this Vancouver itinerary is made for dryer weather. Consider packing a lunch.

10:00 a.m.
If you're near a SkyTrain Station, take the SkyTrain to Waterfront Station. Alternatively, if you're staying downtown, you can warm up those muscles by walking to Waterfront Station.

10:30 a.m.
Take the SeaBus across to North Vancouver. You'll arrive into Lonsdale Quay and the bus loop.

11:00 a.m.
At the bus loop, take bus 228 or 229. Ask the driver to let you out at Lynn Canyon Park.

12:00 p.m.

Lynn Canyon Park is a 250-hectare (617-acre) park with many trails to please avid hikers. One of the most popular trails is the trail to the 30-foot pool. This is an easy 15-minute walk from the parking lot. Get your nerves set to cross the suspension bridge. Continue along until you reach the bottom of the staircase. The 30-foot pool will be on your left. Relax. If you don't have a packed lunch, there's a café ready to offer you the latest in refueling strategies.

2:00 p.m.
Return to the suspension bridge for a 45-minute hike. Take the boardwalk leading to the right. When the trail forks, turn right and follow the signs to Twin Falls.

5:00 p.m.
If you want to learn more about the area, visit the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre.

6:00 p.m.
Catch the bus back to Lonsdale Quay. Once there, walk half a block to Chesterfield. Turn right. Follow Chesterfield up two blocks to West Esplanade. Turn left. Walk one block to Semisch Avenue. It's time to reward yourself with a good meal and a good drink.

7:00 p.m.
Sailor Hagar's Brew Pub 86 Semisch Ave. North Vancouver 604-984-3087 Sailor Hagar's Brew Pub is the area's oldest brew pub. It also has one of the city's largest selections of single-malt scotches. As it's time for a substantial meal, enjoy their steak selection and the sweeping views of the city.
