hree great streets, one Tamazing neighbourhood – that’s Vancouver’s vibrant West End. Comprised of Robson Street, Denman Street and Davie Village, this colourful community features stellar restaurants, fabulous shopping and a plethora of cultural events. westendbia.com Davie Street Lower Davie (Cardero to Denman) includes a full selection of shops and services while Davie Village, further east, is home to Vancouver’s vibrant gay community, complete with four permanent pride-coloured crosswalks at Bute Street. The concentration of restaurants, bars and pubs in the area successfully create one of the city’s most vibrant entertainment districts.

Denman Street Boasting a selection of restaurants that’s second to none, Denman Street bustles with activity and, closer to Robson and Georgia streets, acts as a gateway to Stanley Park. Moving south toward English Bay, this eclectic thoroughfare transforms into a beach promenade, complete with gelato shops, public art and spectacular sunsets.

Robson Street In the 1950s and ’60s the three-block area from Burrard to Jervis called Robsonstrasse was the centre of German culture and commerce. Today, Robson Street west of Burrard includes excellent shopping, cafés and restaurants. Travelling west toward Stanley Park, you’ll find clusters of well-priced hotels that give way to Asian-fusion eateries and, finally, bike-rental shops.

Ziplining If you’re looking for a thrill, head to Grouse Mountain for a ziplining adventure that will have you soaring through the air with the beauty of nature all around you. The dual-line, five-line circuit at Grouse Mountain offers an adrenaline-pumping tour across the peaks and canyons of Grouse and Dam Mountains. Don’t blink because you’ll be travelling at speeds of up to 80 kilometres/hour (50 miles/ hour) and you don’t want to miss the amazing views! Mountain Biking Heralded as the birthplace of freeriding, Vancouver’s famed North Shore Mountains are an internationally regarded destination. Mount Fromme, Mount Seymour and Cypress Mountain have routes that are so steep it’s hard to believe someone could actually maneuver them.

Further north, Squamish is renowned for its excellent cross-country, downhill and freeriding opportunities, and has a trail for every experience level.

Cycling The Metro Vancouver area is also well known for its great cycling opportunities. Right in the heart of Vancouver, the Seawall is a scenic 22-kilometre (13.7-mile) path that wraps around the city’s waterfront and Stanley Park. The trail is divided into two clearly marked sections – one for walkers and joggers, and one for cyclists and inline skaters. Richmond is also a great spot for cycling as a result of a system of dykes topped with 80 kilometres (50

visitorschoice.com miles) of fl at, easily-accessible, interconnected trails that meander past heritage sites, parks, wildlife areas and spectacular scenery.

Mountain Climbing Squamish, another climber’s paradise, is

At present, there are over 3,500 routes and boulder problems in the Squamish area. Your first stop should be the Squamish Adventure Centre where you can discover all the access points, and decide whether or not you want a personal guide (or even a lesson). 56 Vancouver Summer 2018 | visitorschoice.com 57

Terrain varies from rugged shoreline and deep woods to open mountain summits and views of the Pacific Ocean. The breathtaking surroundings will only enhance the feelings that come with exercise and lots of fresh From air. easy to difficult, there’s a hike for everyone. There are few places in the world where so many rafting rivers are so close to a major city. Choose from single or multi-day trips, with both motorpowered and paddle- powered rafting available. Perhaps the best place to begin your adventure is in Lytton, since its location at the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser Rivers has earned it the reputation of being the “rafting capital of Canada.” Or you could check out the nearby Nahatlatch, Coquihalla and Stein Rivers as well. There’s also the Chilliwack River, which drops 10 metres/kilometre (52.8 creating feet/mile), rapids. continuous and long numerous Whitewater Rafting

Windsurfing Windsurfing & Kiteboarding The Squamish Spit at the mouth of the Squamish River is one of those rare places where wind, water and land combine to provide the perfect conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding. Advanced kiteboarders and windsurfers flock to Squamish from June to September, taking advantage of the consistent winds and handy facilities. Not a pro yet? Try Jericho Beach in Vancouver for rentals, lessons and everything you need to get started. Grouse Grind The Grouse Grind in North Vancouver is a very challenging 2.9-kilometre (1.8-mile) up trail the face of Grouse Mountain. Commonly referred to as “Mother Nature’s Stairmaster,” this one is a workout. With an elevation gain of 853 metres (2,800 feet), you’ll be climbing 2,830 steps up a mountain, so you’ll need strong hips and legs. There are rest stops and a few benches at the halfway mark for hikers to take a breather, but they are limited.
