Check out my previous hikes here. #1291844

I went back to check, and it turns out my last hiking post was posted on March 1st, 2026. #1445643 Three full months later, I finally pushed my lazy self to get back to writing another hiking post. I'm not making any promises to make the hiking posts back to a weekly thing, but I do want to try to post more often. At least not once every three months... Anyways, enough of talking about my laziness, let's get to the point.

This week we head to Lighthouse Park located on the shores of West Vancouver. As suggested by the name of the park, there is a lighthouse at the park. To reach the light house, you have to take a straightforward, gradual downclimb trail from the parking lot. Once you enter the parking lot, you are already in the forest, surrounded by tall Douglas firs, cedars, and other trees. There are several trails in the park that brings through the forest to various different viewpoints, as well as the lighthouse itself. The trails were well kept and relatively easy to hike with minimal elevation changes. We first took the trail heading southwest to Jack Pine Point, where we saw some great views. We then made our way towards the lighthouse. The lighthouse itself is a protected heritage building and is not open to the public. We continued along the trails by the shores and saw amazing views of Burrard Inlet and City of Vancouver before taking the trail back to the parking lot.

Trails in the park are clean and well kept. They weave through the forest.

Typical Pacific Northwest forest with tall firs and cedars.

Seeing glimpses of beautiful views behind the trees. I believe this is Bowen Island.

Looking southwest. You can see UBC at the very left of the picture.

Reaching the lighthouse. We were above the lighthouse and needed to take a trail down to see the whole building.

We saw a snake while making our way to the lighthouse. Can you spot the snake?

The lighthouse at Lighthouse Park. This lighthouse served to warn ships to not hit Point Atkinson.

Views at the south shore of the park. You can see UBC, City of Vancouver, and parts of Downtown Vancouver in this shot.

More views to the south. This shot features City of Vancouver, Downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park and Lions Gate Bridge. There is also a cargo ship hiding behind the tree.

Great view of the Burrard Inlet looking east from the south shore of the park. Cargo ships usually park on the inlet to wait for loading and unloading at the Port of Vancouver located east, past the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver Harbour.
