Editorial Assessment

Lynn Canyon Park offers a captivating glimpse into the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. With its diverse trails and iconic suspension bridge, it provides both adventure and tranquility.

I hesitated on whether or not to leave a review for one of my favourite places in the world. I don’t think it needs any more tourists! Let them flock Capilano for all I care. Keep this gem of the locals to enjoy. We have traveled nearly all around the globe and we still talk about Lynn Canyon like it was one of our own. The air alone is incomparable. If you must visit, please respect the lands and clean up after yourselves. Thank you and watch my videos. ( I will upload more videos as I dig through years of footage ) 🌲🌲🌲

This is an absolute beauty of a natural environment to hike and take in some breathtaking views. Unfortunately, I fear that parks like this will soon be too restricted due to the moronic behaviours of certain individuals who callously ignore signage or meander into areas not suitable for Vans sneakers and Coach purses. I realize that I may sound like that, "Hey, you kids! Get off my lawn!!" guy, but it is worth noting that certain behaviours and actions can actually deter one from fully enjoying this incredible experience. My guest and I will certainly be making a return visit. I'll just take an extra chill pill 😎
