5 Nature & Parks in University Land Endowments That You Shouldn't Miss
Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

From the highly manicured trees and shrubs to the koi, Nitobe Garden is a tranquil spot located within the bustling UBC campus. From every perspective it's a photographers dream. The manicured trees, rolling moss and hills, Japanese lanterns and water features fill the space in harmony and filtered light. Delightful on a rainy day and empty. Enjoy the trails and peak into the Tea House. Take a moment to respect the memorial garden to Dr Nitobe, a visionary and bridge across the Pacific. Simply delightful!

Those trees could just chill you with their stories but you have to slow down and really look! They can say so much to those who listen. Old grown Douglas Firs and Redwoods and then there are those majestic Cedar that are so tall and straight. Some still bare the paddle marks from those cutters that have gone before. Such a magical place to reflect and wonder! Yet this place is still in the city!

I'm going to miss my yearly visit to this little paradise. I'll miss my Wreck Beach friends and my doses of nudity, that keeps my free spirit afloat. See you next time!
