A light hike at Lighthouse Park at West Vancouver
A few of our closest friends here gathered for a picnic and light hike at Lighthouse Park at West Vancouver this summer. We usually have annual picnic. Since the youngest family’s kids are old enough for a light hike, we decided that we go for a hike instead or just sitting around for a picnic.
The above is the entrance to the Lighthouse Park; one of the National Historic Site of Canada. It was a busy day and the parking lot was almost full. The weather was just perfect, lightly cloudy and not too sunny.
We found a picnic area with a couple of picnic tables with a great view of the Burrard Inlet, looking across Vancouver and the Lions Gate Bridge. Ben in-charged of getting bahn-mi from Bahn Mi Saigon. The price has gone up from $5 to $5.50. The buy 10 get 1 free is still valid.
After our late lunch, we walked down to the rocky area next to the water.
Most of the members of our party climbed up the rocks to enjoy the view. The younger kids have no fear, running up and down the rocks.
Then, we made our way to the Point Atkinson Lighthouse.
The lighthouse is not accessible; only view from the gate. I love the effects of the clouds of the photo of the lighthouse. (more…)
