Immerse yourself in nature’s splendor moments from downtown Vancouver. History meets the great outdoors at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, where you wander through the stunning temperate rain forest. Soar over the Capilano River as you cross the suspension bridge, climb and rise high above the canyon along a towering wall of granite on the new Cliffwalk.

The views are breathtaking. The snow is fresh and perfect for hiking. Most of all, Timber is excellent company. Over the past four years, I have identified the best locations for the ideal views and private seclusion. Usually during the ski/snowboard season it’s quite difficult to access the hiking trails, but I have all the hacks for the ideal spots.
