Nature Vancouver

A walk along trails paralleling the west side of the Seymour River in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR) to view geological features that tell the story of this valley during and following the ice age. Some highlights will be 30,000 to 40,000 year old peat beds, raised sea-level benches, rhythmite clays deposited in a glacial lake and the site of the fatal Riverside Drive slide. The length and duration of this walk will be about 12 km and 5 hours respectively, mainly along Twin Bridges Trail and Fisherman’s Trail. Bring lunch and water and dress for changes in weather. Meet in the Rice Lake Parking lot near the Learning Lodge in LSCR at 1000 hours. The parking lot is at the end of Lillooet Road which is accessed from the Mount Seymour Parkway near the Holiday Inn and Capilano University. There is no bus access (unless you know how to walk in from the top of Lynn Valley Road), so if you require a lift I can collect up to 4 people from Phibbs Exchange or Lynn Valley Mall at prearranged times.
