Hollyburn Mountain

"Type: Hike Level: Moderate-Hard Bus: No This is the best winter wonderland hike in Vancouver! Starting at the Nordic area of Cypress Mountain, it's a popular trail for snowshoeing, although if the snow is packed enough, microspikes are sufficient. But note that you NEED microspikes. The trail gets extremely steep, especially on the second half, and hiking up without them would be nearly impossible. But once you make it to the top you will be rewarded with 360° views of Vancouver, Cypress ski hills and the North Shore mountains. It's even more special at sunset on a clear day! On the way down, you can make it more fun by carefully bum sliding the steep trail, so bring a garbage bag or waterproof pants! "
