Vancouver's North Shore

One weekend, Leona and I decided to take the SeaBus over to Vancouver's North Shore.
It's a passenger-only ferry that crosses the Burrard Inlet, to the Lonsdale Quay.



We walked around the quay and visited some stores even though it was a little dreary that day.

It kept threatening to rain some more; but we decided to walk along the shoreline despite the weather.


We came upon a small pavilion, that marked the Trans Canada Trail.

This, according to the sign, is a First Nations greeting place for travelers on the trail.



The sign describes the figures and their symbolism by the Squamish the carver.



Further along the shoreline, we came upon an archway, which marked the entrance to the North Shore Spirit Trail.

This trail, when completed, will be a multi-use green way extending from Horseshoe Bay over to Deep Cove.


We followed for a bit, but it only ended at a marina and a small community of trailers.



Back at the quay, we decided to stroll indoors and stop for a coffee and maybe a treat.


After coffee and muffins, we boarded the SeaBus once again, and returned to the Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver.
