Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing

The bike and foot path on the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge is part of the Spirit Trail and regional cycling network. It spans 1.3 km across Second Narrows, sitting 60 meters above the water. This well-maintained paved trail has awesome views of Downtown Vancouver, Mount Seymour, and the North Shore Mountains. It can get loud and often windy up there.

Mount Seymour Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The king mountain of Vancouver’s Northshore. A quiet road climb with a distance of 12km and an elevation gain of 920m makes this the longest and hardest local mountain to climb on a road bike. Some gradients over 10% but the average is 7.6% for the ascent through a forested area with views of Vancouver and the sound at the summit (1045m).
