Vancouver, British Columbia is definitely the place for hiking, kayaking and other outdoor activity enthusiasts. The temperate climate of the West Coast allows the locals to spend their time off exploring the city and natural surroundings. This Vancouver travel itinerary is best enjoyed on a clear day, with hiking the Grouse Grind being the exception, as it is covered by a canopy of trees and can be enjoyed in most weather, except when snow & ice cover the mountaintop.
