UNPLUGGED is a state of mind. |
One of the things that brings me back to the Capilano River Regional Park is the fish hatchery (posts 1, 2, 3). Whatever the month there's usually either adult salmon who have returned to spawn or salmon fry who are being raised in holding tanks to check out. Randy Laybourne REPORTED on the park a while back but I thought I'd remind you that there are a mess of trails for folks like me (lazy folks who don't hike but rather go on leisurely strolls through the forest) as well as folks who want to get an actual workout and travel a few kilometres on foot. Fully dog friendly, an easy walk is to view the Cleveland Dam, or you can head the other way to see this:
The above photo was shot from this bridge:
And that bridge is somewhere down this trail:
Lastly, I have to apologize for the quality of this photo below. I shot it for reference for myself and didn't expect to be publishing it but it gives you an idea of the extent of the trails so I figured I'd share it. HERE is a link to a bunch of info on the park (including a more in-depth PDF map) from Metro Vancouver who manage this regional park.
Get outside!
