Nature Walk in Vancouver

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Vancouver's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

Vancouver is spectacularly set between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains, offering a unique combination of urban walking, waterfront promenades, and rainforest trails all within the city limits.
