With spring now in full swing, you’re probably keen to get out and explore all the great outdoors that make Vancouver special.
And one of the best ways to do just that is by taking a hike.
Indeed, what you once dreaded as a teen is now the most rad way to spend a weekend in your young professional years.
Not just any ol’ trail will do, though – we’ve rounded up five fantastic treks you probably haven’t even heard of…
