Greenways, gardens and one of the best views in the city.
Distance
~20 km loop
Terrain
Bikeways, greenways and quiet shared roads
This route links together five of Vancouver’s greenways — Seaside, Cypress, Arbutus, Ridgeway and Ontario — into one grand varied ride.
The highlight is Queen Elizabeth Park, the highest point in the city. Ride up through quiet neighbourhood bikeways, then slow down and explore — gardens, sculptures, fountains and sweeping city views all in one place.
Along the way, enjoy a mix of waterfront paths, tree-lined streets and dedicated greenways, with plenty of opportunities to pause and explore.
