Lynn Canyon is loads of fun for hiking. and for the folks that love plants and flowers there are tons of great gardens to check out. Dr. Sun Yans-Yet garden is lovely and free. And the Botanical Observatory in Queen Elizabeth Park is pretty neat! We always use public Transportation and buy a Day pass at Shoppers for 8 bucks.

lynn canyon is really cool.. or should i say cold... well the water is at any rate.. nothing like glacial run off to chill your tootsies right quick..

Good deal! I'm going up to Vancover This late August (27th+) for my 18th birthday, wanna try and get me some bubblehash and prime buds and just get lost in B.C. I only wish I had my own address up there so I could order everything I need and get up in canada and bam its right there waiting. BaH

Atleast I'll have more things to do than I have time for. Checking out some of the islands looks really interesting. as does lynn canyon

its very popular for tourists to take a sunset cruise in vancouver...for the cost of two seats on a boring cruise, you could rent a little speedboat from granville island rentals (or stanley park boat rentals)...try speeding out to bowen island and tying up on the public dock...walk past the pubs near the dock up the hill to the bowen island pub which brews their own delicious beer

if its windy, try the protected waters in spectacular indian arm...its accessible from vancouver harbour...great spot to spend a few hours exploring or finding a place to have a secluded picnic ashore

oh yeah, if you're visiting vancouver, you must check out wreck beach...its vancouver's 'clothing optional' wormhole to the 60's (please don't bring a radio or camera)

I moved to Vancouver in 1988 and there are still large parts of this city I've never explored. The walk from the bookstore to the boat on the 2nd day of the toker's bowl was utterly new to me and stunningly beautiful. There is beauty everywhere you look in Vancouver, which only intensifies when stoned.

Here's a tip on smoking marijuana 'in public' in Vancouver: only smoke joints! No pulling out the pipe or mini bong, please, for your sake. But nobody cares about someone puffing a simple ol' doobie.

Happy trails!
