This is a hugely rewarding hike with a great variety of terrain, some of it somewhat challenging, Prepare yourself as though you are hiking in the backcountry. The most northerly loop is the most challenging. As you can see it can be broken up into several smaller hikes. There are amenities at Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge. The features consist of canyons, rushing water, old forest, a lake, and bridges including a suspension bridge.
This loop outing leads one to explore how the Township of Langley has made an effort to create greenways to complement neighbourhoods. These urban greenways make for a very pleasant outing. You will note that there has been an evolution in the quality of the pathways in the greenways from the older neighbourhoods on the north side of the Highway to the new ones.on the south side.
Walnut Grove on the Northside of the Highway is largely in the upper Yorkston Creek watershed which drains into the Fraser River. Willoughby is on the southside of the Highway on the edge of the Latimer Creek watershed draining westward into the Serpentine River heading for the Salish Sea.
Allow about 4 hours to complete these 42.5k. Â The highlights include a series of greenways and parks as well as experiencing Port Moody and Coquitlam City Centres. Â The climb over Burnaby Mountain is somewhat of a challenge thus most people will need to walk their bikes up for at least part of the way. Â A mountain bike is recommended for this trip.
This section of the Trans Canada Trail takes in the main features of Vancouver Centre and normally takes about 2.5 hours to do cycling (5-6 hrs for walkers). Â If you do it as a loop back to Coal Harbour via North False Creek and Hornby Bikeway add 5k or via Gastown add 2k.
This deceivingly short distance is quite a challenge above Green Lake and should be done on a mountain bike.  It is part of the Sea-to-Sky Trail and also the Valley Trail. It takes in Whistler Village along with the surrounding lakes.  Please be reminded that this is part of the Cycle Loop c48 which may be a better way to experience this trail, especially if shuttling is an issue.
