Location

An accessible forested area in West Vancouver. It's just west of the Capilano River, metres from the access road to a public park.

Participants


Plans

We asked the public transit website how to get there and it didn't know, probably because there are no bus stops nearby in West Vancouver and its calculation didn't allow it to consider the most convenient bus stop, which is in North Vancouver, a different municipality, and across a deep ravine with a river, but we saw a bridge with a pedestrian sidewalk and that was enough planning.

Expedition

It was an expedition almost unVancouverlike in its simplicity. The bus came when it should and went where it was supposed to, as did the bridge, the subsequent trail and the requisite fifteen metres of brambles and uphill. The pictures tell the story.
