North Vancouver at a Glance
Possessing some of Canada's
most beautiful residential neighbourhoods, the city of North Vancouver is known
for having an abundance of huge trees and colourful flowers which each contribute
to its fresh, outdoorsy persona. Although North Vancouver is located only a 5-minute
drive from downtown Vancouver,
the area has a distinctively friendly, small-mountain-village feel to it, and
offers abundant outdoor activities and attractions. Nearby Grouse
Mountain is an excellent skiing venue, but it also features several other
activities year-round, including mountain biking, hiking and paragliding. Lynn
Canyon Park is renowned for having spectacular flora and fauna, while the
Capilano
Suspension Bridge is also a popular attraction, overlooking the Capilano River
from 230 feet above ground level. In addition to its vast natural beauty, North
Vancouver also offers all the conveniences and amenities of a big city, including
world-class restaurant and shopping facilities. Enjoy a pleasant day at the beach
at popular Ambleside
Park near the Lions
Gate Bridge.
