Outdoor enthusiast? With a great city atmosphere, the City of North Vancouver is surrounded to the east, north, and west by the District with an amazing health lifestyle for the outdoor enthusiast.
Considering the District to the north, east, and west, there’s tons of interesting things to be had in North Vancouver. While the city is thought to be a suburban region, with the industry within the coastline of Burrard Inlet, a few small to mid-sized businesses and general marketplace within Lonsdale Quay, various apartments and exceptional North Vancouver condos throughout the city, Vancouver’s Seabus ferry (north terminal), and plenty of larger office and residential buildings all over, North Vancouver offers not only the best of “small town” living, but still gives off a very impressive urban flare and atmosphere! Local officials and design experts have called the region, especially Lower and Central Lonsdale, as the “downtown” area of North Shore.
Where to start?
With Mount Seymour and Grouse Mountain in particular, the rugged nature of the North Shore Mountains has boosted the region’s fame for skiing, hiking, and even better known, for mountain biking. famed mountain biking videos generally showcase the region’s trails. Stretching from Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay, there is the Baden-Powell Trail, which each year hosts the Knee Knacker, a half of a day long event spanning the whole trail distance of 50 kilometers. (Yes, the name of the race does hail from the commonplace bruises and injuries sustained by the runners’ knees when they reach the finish line). This District also presents the well known Grouse Grind hiking trail, which proves to be a very steep uphill climb.
One more fascinating aspect of North Shore life has to be shore riding. As the soil of this region is so wet, coarse, root-filled, and has such diverse grades ranging from flat to nearly vertical, a fantastic way for adventure seekers to have fun was requested. Literally riding on homemade platforms, ladders, planks and logs (usually cedar), down embankments, rivers, and even swamps – shore riding was brought into being. A big activity known within the area as shore riding was first introduced in North Shore. As the Shore is notorious for its wet, coarse, and slick ground surfaces with large drop-offs, new means of recreational “transportation” around these muddy, root-filled embankments, as well us down rivers and swamps, became a local pastime. Adventure seekers began exploring this terrain on wooden platforms, ladders, planks, logs, and such (preferably of cedar) – and shore riding was formed!
It’s really a wonder how contractors actually manage to construct so many North Vancouver condos in the North Vancouver area with such soil conditions!
Among the greatest tourist attractions on the North Shore, the Capilano River is where the Capilano Suspension Bridge is found. Beloved for its sea kayaking and as the location of Deep Cove, Indian Arm represents a tributary of Burrard Inlet. The Capilano Fish Hatchery lying at Capilano River Regional Park, the Maplewood Flats Conservation area, and Lynn Canyon Park are three alternative famous tourist draws.
There’s the Capilano Suspension Bridge above the Capilano River, to boot, gathering large crowds from North Vancouver real estate owners nearby and all over the Greater Vancouver area.
