Who wants to be cooped up inside doing nothing on these gorgeous, rain-free days? Here’s a list of reasons to head outside and play in our pretty city…
Sea Quest Scavenger Hunt

Ziptrek Ecotours
Glide between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains on steel ziplines suspended high above the valley floor (we won’t tell if you close your eyes once or twice).

The Seawall
Biking, running, walking or rollerblading this oceanside pathway around Stanley Park, Yaletown, Granville Island, Coal Harbour and False Creek is the ultimate Vancouver pastime.

The Grouse Grind
It’s fair to say that the Grind is far from a walk in the park, but once you reach the top, the victory (and the view) is worth the leg muscle pain.
