Nidhi Sharma

If you are looking to flex your muscles that every inch of your body will remind you for the rest of the week after, then take this "small" yet one of the tiring hikes. It's a 6 kms round trip with an elevation gain of 238 meters. Will take around 2 to 2.5 hours depending on how you wish to cover your path. But all the effort is worth when get to see that beautiful lake at the end. Yet another nature's abode in this beautiful city.

A ferry terminal with a park right next to the water. Apart from boarding ferry to Bowen Island or Nanaimo, you can also enjoy the short boat rides from here. The place which paints a perfect picture of vastness, be it the water or mountains standing tall clad with snow, there's a serenity in this area even if it's bustling with people around in the park or lining up in the eateries or loading and unloading from the ferry. A beautiful spot to hang out with friends or family over a sunny weekend.
