Getting Vancouver outdoors since 1958
We're a volunteer-run club helping Vancouverites explore the outdoors—rain, snow, or shine. Hiking, cycling, backpacking, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, snow camping—we do it all. Our home base is the North Shore mountains (Cypress, Grouse, Seymour), but we explore in all directions, from the Gulf Islands to the Rockies.
FIND US ON MEETUP
We've moved our events, communications, and trip sign-ups to Meetup to make it easier for everyone to connect and participate.
On Meetup you can:
- Browse and sign up for trips — see what's coming up each week
- Get notifications — stay informed about new events and updates
- Connect with other members — meet your fellow hikers before you hit the trail
- RSVP easily — let trip leaders know you're joining
