3km walking |
min. 45 minutes walking (2 hr + sightseeing) |
Grey Route (D
to E),
Purple Route (E to F),
Brown Route (F to G),
Pink Route (G to D) |
| This is an easy route, you see the views from two bridge and
the most exciting part of false creek. You can also do this loop at night,
the night view on Burrard and Granville is simply stunning. (There are some
drifters near the ends of the bridges, making some people feel unsafe. Usually
they cause no trouble). |

9.5km walking |
min. 3 hrs walking (usually take whole day) |

Red Route (B to C)
Green Route (C to D)
Grey Route (D to E)
Purple Route (E to
F)
Brown Route (F to G)
Orange Route
(G to H)
Take [False Creek Ferry] from Vanier Park to Science World (around $12)
|
| If you like walking and you have time, then this loop is your
choice. You don't have to do the return trip of walking back. The [False
Creek Ferry] will do the job for you. You can also take the ferry first
and then walk back from the same route, so you won't miss the ferry when
you walk late. Even if you spent a whole day, you probably won't have much
time to visit science world, Space Center, Granville Island, Maritime Museum
etc... so you might want to break this route into 3 parts and do it in 3
days, so you can do more sightseeing and less time walking (see below...) |

| It's easy to find parking in Cambie Bridge South, so I like
to do this loop. This is also a very relaxing loops, the blue route has
nice urban views, the green route has nice boats along the seawalk. You
