Nature Vancouver

We will be hiking along the trails of Cypress Falls Park in West Vancouver and the adjoining Cypress Provincial Park. Meet at 0930 hours at Mc Donalds, Park Royal for car-pooling or if you are coming by bus and require a lift. Alternatively, meet in the parking lot at the end of Woodgreen Place off Woodgreen Drive, West Vancouver at 1000 hours. The field trip area contains one of the North Shore’s oases of old growth forest with two waterfalls in a pocket canyon formed by Cypress Creek. The trails are poorly defined and poorly maintained in many places. Caution is required where there are steep drop-offs into the canyon. Hiking boots with ankle support are essential. Bring lunch and water and dress for changes in weather. Estimated time of return: Mid-afternoon.
