Lynn Canyon

Lynn Canyon is situated in the district of North Vancouver. To reach Lynn canyon Adam and I had to catch a ride on the Seabus from the Downtown area across to Lonsdale Quay. The Seabus only takes eight minutes to reach the other side but it was still an enjoyable experience.

It was interesting to see the Downtown area from a new observation point,the stretch of skyscrapers looked superb.

When the sun finally broke through the grey mass of clouds, we both jumped at the photo opportunity.

After a lengthy uphill bus ride we arrived at our final destination.Upon entering the canyon Adam and I were both impressed with the magnitude of the trees and the lush green vegetation. As we approached the suspension bridge we could hear the raging waterfalls beneath us, crossing over the suspension bridge was rather exciting as there is a 50 metre drop to the rocky canyon below.

After our first Canadian suspension bridge experience we decided to explore more of the park and followed a trail towards Rice Lake.
The lake was converted in to a drinking water reservoir in 1912 as a back up system in case there happened to be a low water supply during the summer.

The Lynn Creek water system was still in use up until 1981 when the system failed due to flooding. North Vancouver's water is now supplied the Seymour reservoir, located a little further up north.

The reflections made by the lake were wonderfully calming and very beautiful to see. Adam and I both took a moment to unwind and let the wise old trees fill our lungs with goodness.
