This area is located a short drive from Downtown Vancouver. In the winter it offers skiing and snowboarding. In the summer, hiking, zip lining, paragliding, and eco-walks. Central to all these activities are the gondolas which we rode today to the almost 4,000 ft. Summit.
This is a shot looking down on Vancouver. You can see the proximity.

We saw a number of para gliders. There is one centered in this shot.

We spent about two hours at the summit. A year round pass for locals cost CAN$ 129. What a bargain.
