Approximate distances. Check flights and bus, train or boat schedules before you travel.
From downtown Vancouver, the SeaBus takes about 12 minutes from Waterfront Station to Lonsdale Quay. By car, use the Lions Gate or Ironworkers Memorial bridges. Buses connect Lonsdale Quay to Capilano, Grouse and Lynn Canyon.
How many days
One day, for the Capilano Bridge and Grouse Mountain, which are on the same road. An extra half day for Lynn Canyon.
When to go
From spring to fall, for trails and parks. In winter, Grouse Mountain has ski runs and snow trails with views of the city lights.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
No. The SeaBus and buses connect downtown Vancouver to the attractions; the Capilano Bridge has its own transport from downtown.
