How to get there by bus: from downtown Vancouver, take the Seabus across to North Vancouver and at the Lonsdale Quay bus loop, take bus #228 to Lynn Valley. You will want to get off of the bus near the end of the route at Dempsey and Lynn Valley Road. Let the
bus driver know where you are going and they can stop at the location. After getting off the bus, walk down the paved road into the forest towards the parking area and the start of the trail.</p>
