Map of Cypress Provincial Park in BC

The towering North Shore Mountains which form a backdrop to the  bustling city of Vancouver have beckoned outdoor recreationists for  many years.    

Bounded on the west by Howe Sound, on the north and east by the  ridgetops of Mount Strachan and Hollyburn Mountain and to the south by  West Vancouver, Cypress Provincial Park sits like a ship's crows nest  high above Vancouver.     

On a clear day the views are spectacular! To the south is the  sprawling metropolitan area of Vancouver, while to the southeast is  snowclad Mount Baker in the Cascade Mountain chain. To the west and  southwest lie the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island with Georgia Strait  in the foreground.     

The diversity of natural features, old-growth trees and outdoor  recreation opportunities both summer and winter, is due partly to the  climate of coastal British Columbia which provides many warm days for  hikers and sightseers. No matter what the season or the weather, Cypress  Provincial Park is an enjoyable place to be. Hiking, sightseeing,  photography, wilderness camping, mountain biking (in limited areas),  skiing and other snow-related activities are just some of the activities  that can be enjoyed here.
