Bird’s Eye View

If you’ve never been to Vancouver, this illustration will help you understand the local layout. Burrard Inlet separates downtown Vancouver from North Vancouver and the North Shore mountains, part of the Coastal Range. The peaks reach 900 to 1800 meters in height and can be easily seen from most parts of Vancouver – they beckon you to climb, it’s a wilderness at your doorstep. Read more and see larger map.
