More infoWinter dates don't have to be another movie, and Dog Mountain on Mount Seymour makes the case for getting off the couch. It's roughly 4.5 km round-trip with barely any climbing, weaving through frosted forest to a rocky bluff that drops away to the entire glittering sweep of Vancouver and Burnaby. Bring a thermos and stay long enough to watch the city light up at dusk.
When the snow's down, this is the winter move: a beginner-friendly 4.5 km round-trip across Mount Seymour with barely any climbing, weaving through frosted forest to a bluff over the whole glittering city. Rent gear at the Seymour base (micro-spikes often do, but carry snowshoes after fresh snow), dress for the alpine, and pack a thermos. Budget about 2.5 hours and start with daylight to spare, that bluff over the whole glittering city is the whole point.
