About the Journey

This wonderful and  more challenging walking loop allows for the discovery of a great forest ecological reserve on the north side of Burnaby Mountain.  It includes Burnaby Mountain Park with its sensational views of Metrotown, the City of Vancouver, and Burrard Inlet with its north shore mountains, manicured gardens and the possibility reaching the foreshore on Burrard Inlet.  There are days when it is possible to see as far as the Gulf Islands.  Then there are the more than 500 steps stairway up the side of the mountain to get your heart rate up, that is if you are doing the loop counterclockwise.  Allow 3 hours to complete this loop even if it is only 9 km. It is 12 km if you take in the whole foreshore of Barnet Marine Park and 13k if you take in the west sub-loop.
