By bicycle from Vancouver to North Vancouver

This ride takes you from vibrant downtown Vancouver up to the scenic hills of North Vancouver—a classic city-to-nature escape! You’ll kick off in the heart of Vancouver, surrounded by waterfront views, bustling streets, and a backdrop of mountains. After weaving your way through mostly smooth asphalt cycleways and quiet roads (almost all paved, so it’s a chill ride for your tires), you’ll make your way northeast.

Be ready for a steady climb as you cross over toward North Vancouver, gaining just over 227 meters in elevation—your legs will feel it, but it’s totally worth it for the views! North Vancouver is known for its access to mountain trails, lush forests, and friendly neighborhood cafés, so it’s the perfect place to wind down.

This 18 km route promises a mix of urban energy and tranquil green spaces, making it favourite among locals year-round. Don’t forget to snap a photo on the way—on a clear day, you’ll get both city and mountain panoramas!
