17 things to do in Vancouver before you die

Let’s just admit a Vancouver bucket list could go on forever. Isn’t that why it’s great to live here? While it’s ludicrous to pick just a handful of items, we had to start somewhere. Here are 17 things you absolutely have to do in Vancouver before you kick the bucket!

1. Stroll through West Vancouver’s Lighthouse Park. Bonus: catch the sunset at the actual lighthouse.

2. Hike the Chief in Squamish. Bonus: camp at the bottom, head out early, and sit at the top before the crowds arrive.
