Hikes on the North Shore

Established in 1989, this fun and lively hiking group explores the many trails of the North Shore.

Trail Trekkers hikes are included with a NVRC fitness membership. If you don't have a membership, you can pay a fitness day visit fee.

Participants should have good hiking shoes/boots (no runners), a fanny/day pack, appropriate clothing for weather conditions, water plus a flashlight or headlamp for evening hikes. No umbrellas and no dogs are permitted.

Advance registration is required for all hikes and walks. Register online using the links below or call 604-987-7529. Registration begins at 9am on the Monday the week before the hike.

Routes may be subject to change for safety reasons (dependent on weather and trail conditions). Hikes are approximately two hours long, but see hike description for full details.
