Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Vancouver, Canada
I met a friend for a short hike at Pacific Spirit Regional Park. We started at the park centre parking lot for easy parking and transit access. Our route followed Cleveland Trail → Salish Trail → Admiralty Trail → West Canyon Trail, looping back to the lot since I wanted to get closer to the water and this takes us towards it and back on a loop.
The weather was humid, and wildfire smog affected the air quality, making downtown Vancouver barely visible from Arcadia Beach. Most of the trail was shaded, which made the walk pleasant. Along the way, we met a few off-leash dogs that walked with us briefly until their owner caught up.
After finishing the hike, we had an early lunch at a picnic table before heading home. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable walk.
