Lighthouse Park at Horseshoe Bay West Vancouver

On our perfect day in Vancouver, Canada with friends from Williamsburg, VA we headed north across the Lions Gate Bridge across Burrard Inlet to enjoy a hearty breakfast at The Bakehouse in Dundarave before hiking among the old-growth Douglas firs and Red Cedars in Lighthouse Park, down to the Point Atkinson Lighthouse. Lighthouse Park, with almost 200-acres of forest and numerous trails, is a National Historic Site in the District of West Vancouver with some of the oldest Douglas Firs and Red Cedars in the Vancouver area - some over a thousand years old. From there we trekked north to Squamish, BC to the Shannon Falls Provincial Park to see waterfalls in the Cascades. Returning back to Vancouver we stopped at the Olive and Anchor at Horseshoe Bay for lunch in view of the BC Ferries busily taking vacationers over to Victoria on Vancouver Island. Back in Vancouver we explored the shops and wonderful public markets on Granville Island, strolled through the impressive rose gardens at Queen Elizabeth Park and had an entertaining evening in the Gas Lamp District. Next stop: Victoria, BC, Canada
