Lynn Canyon

I like Lynn Canyon. My father used to take me there when I was very young. We used to live within walking distance. The 30 foot pool is my favorite part: http://www.lynncanyon.ca



Today we noticed a tree had been knocked down by the wind right at the pool when people jump off the rocks. You can see the small waterfall just past the diving spot. You have to be careful with under currents in Lynn creek. Many people have died being swept away and swept under the powerful water. Even at the small waterfall there are under currents. It’s still a beautiful park and swimming in the 30 foot pool is relatively safe. Not quite warm enough yet but a peaceful place to visit nonetheless.

This is the view from the suspension bridge:

And this is the small waterfall on the west side of the suspension bridge that most people miss:

Then there’s the treck up Coliseum Mountain in the headwaters. Gotta love that. Capilano is nice too. They have a cool walk in the treetops display set up. Haven’t been there in a while: http://www.capbridge.com/explore_vancouver_park/treetop_attraction.html
