This scenic park contains four lakes and is perfect for hiking and swimming.

Their campground is the nicest one I've ever been too, the washrooms are consistently cleaned and literally always looks brand new. the camps are also a good distance from the other campsites so you get some woods to yourself and more quiet. Also, all the campsites are really near to Alice lake itself. Though the lake is actually not that appealing but good safety measures in place!

Hiking is always my favorite activity in Vancouver. We've done the Deep Cove, Lighthouse, Lynn Valley already so we were looking for another EASY hike. I googled and found Dog Mountain as EASY. While we were hiking, some people were on their way back out ...their shoes were so muddy and dirty... my friend asked.. how come everyone's shoes were so dirty. So apparently, a few days before our hike, there was a big rain; hence, the ground was wet, pushy & muddy.......the trail was definitely not as easy as people say (although we see a lot of people walking easily, with kids too).. this hike involves climbing up and down, walking/hiking with care/attention... on the website, it said 2 hours but it took us 3 hours to complete the whole thing.... I enjoy the hike but it was a tiring one....I will go back!
3. Garibaldi Provincial Park

Garibaldi Provincial Park is a favorite destination of outdoor enthusiasts: it offers a range of hiking opportunities from lush alpine meadows, wildlife viewing opportunities, alpine flowers blooming in lush meadows, and hikes ranging from a few hours to a few days using map and compass. Garibaldi Park has an interesting geological background as it was created by volcanic action which created the formation of many of the parks peaks; the Black Tusk, Price Mountain, The Table, Mount Garibaldi, the CinderCone and the Glacier Pikes just to name a few. Lava from Clinker Peak is responsible for the creation of The Barrier. Behind this natural dam 300 metre deep Garibaldi Lake was formed.

Fantastic experience! Great views. Alpine flowers in full bloom. Only disappointment was finding discarded noodles in the stream. Encourage people to please learn about how to properly discard food waste! Information is provided by Parks Canada upon making reservation.

Through sheer luck, we were able to snag a campground site that someone had canceled. We had a walk-in site, which I highly recommend if you don't mind hauling your equipment a short walk from the parking lot. These sites also seem newer than others in the site. Some walk-in sites even have a view of the lake! Another plus is the proximity to the trail that leads down to the lake. There's plenty to do around the campground, and while we did make our way to the day-use area, I definitely think that the area around the campground is the best. Gold Creek is great to take a boat, floatie, or a paddleboard out on.

This park has an amazing array of trails with spectacular views. A wonderland for mountain bikers, trailer runners and hikers. One of the trails that you access off the #1 freeway is the 'Abby Grind.' It's quite a steep hike in sections, but the views on a clear day are amazing!

The Wetlands was a nice surprise to discover. Its a great place to get out in nature and have a short or long walk, depending on how you feel. There are a number of different trails. The floating island provides a nice look out over the whole park. We saw many birds, and ducks. Its an excellent park to take the kids to.

Pleasant walk, nice and quiet. Bring your camera or binoculars, as there are a multitude of song birds. We recently saw, Common Yellow Throats, MacGillivray's Warblers, Swainson's Thrush, Cedar WaxWings, Pacific Peewees, Cassin's Vireos, Bullocks Orioles, as well as the regular year round song birds.
