Park Trail - West Vancouver
by Dad |
 huge man-eating plant (?) in Caulfeild |
Activity:
This little known area of West Vancouver waterfront really reminds me of
jolly old England with its narrow winding lanes, secluded beaches, and
stately waterfront homes. The Caulfeild trail runs along the ocean
for 1.3 km from Cypress Creek to the government wharf at Caulfeild
Cove. The scenery here is king: waves splashing on rocks, mature
trees, and just like in a fairy tale, a church in the woods, aptly named
St. Francis in the Woods Church which is very popular with weddings.
The stately mansions in the area will have you rubber necking.
