The ride starts at Ambleside Park and winds through the hills and roads of West Vancouver. It’s a winding meander of West Van’s shoreline through Caulfield Park, Lighthouse Park, Whytecliff Park, and Horseshoe Bay. You’ll ride high above the cove on the Seaview trail ― an old railway. It’s a rollicking ride … part on trails, shared roads, and through neighbourhoods. Give it a try ― you just might think you are on the Amalfi coast!

*Alert* – the stairs connecting Seaview Walk to the Old Highway have deteriorated making them a big climb (hike-a-bike). See bypass route down Cranley and up Westport on the map. (*Write a letter to West Van asking for a bike runnel on the stairs or a switchback trail.

Take the TransCanada Seaview Trail. This rails-to-trail winds high above Eagle Harbour and is an easy 2% climb up from Marine Drive.
