This is a very scenic 7.3 km walking loop (no bicycles and not wheelchair accessible) that tours the West Vancouver / Horseshoe Bay area on wilderness trails and abandoned rail line as well as paved urban pathways and sidewalks. Give yourself up to 3 hours for this loop as there are many places to stop along the way. The trail climbing uphill to Whyte Lake is tranquil and features large trees and lush forest floor but can be moderately strenuous. The loop can be travelled in both directions. The best starting point is at Gleneagles Community Centre.
This 10 km shoreline tour starts and begins at Clover Point, the Pacific Terminus of the Trans Canada Trail and takes advantage of Victoria’s beautiful shoreline, exciting harbourfront, historic buildings and following the Trans Canada Trail to return south, passing directly through the city’s crown jewel, Beacon Hill Park. Take advantage of an amazing spur – the Ogden Point Breakwater, now featuring handrails to accommodate visitors of all ages and mobility. The entire loop can be walked in 2 hours, but with so many attractions along the way, it can often take over 3!
