Beautiful views of the Burrard Inlet, nesting blue herons in the spring, spawning coho and chum in the fall. If you are in love with nature, from CityHall head west through the trails crossing the tracks to Shoreline Parks. Trails around park are both paved, with Shoreline Trail a 3km trail of dirt trail and small bridges. You will pass by the blue herons nesting high in the birch trees or fishing the streams. Salmon swim up stream in Noons Creek to spawn, floating back down to feed herons and seagulls in October. There are 20-25 Blue Herons nests in the spring that one can hear from the distance or view quietly underneath so as not to disturb them. Watch for black bears feeding on berries in the fall, but do not get closer than 100 metres. If you make noise by talking while you’re walking they will disperse quickly but should you surprise one, walk backwards slowly and don’t turn and run. They do not like contact with humans and will avoid it unless a sow with cubs in the spring. If so lower your head and move back slowly. This year, we also had a rare visit from Orcas feeding in the inlet, a remarkable sight to see.
