Week 209-210 - Vancouver BC Photo Collection - 08-22-2010

Vancouver BC Photo Collection

The city, any city, is not a great place for your Big Rig motorhome. But that's where the scooter comes in. At the risk of being repetitive and boring, the scooter is the most awesome way to visit the city, national park or any place where parking is at a premium. You can always find parking near your destination and you get great photos without windows or the car roof in your way.

So we left Capilano RV Park in North Vancouver and headed across Lions Gate Bridge to Stanley Park, the northern entrance to the city of Vancouver.

The Lions Gate Bridge spans the water between Burrard Inlet on the left and Vancouver Harbor on the right.

Peering across Burrard Inlet you see North Vancouver while a container ship heads toward Lions Gate.

Stanley Park is huge and gorgeous. Typical of Victoria on Vancouver Island, Vancouver City and so many Canadian cities, thousands of flowers bring joy to the visitors.

The raccoons are friendly and hoping to grab your crumbs.

We don't know. Is it just us, or does spending thousands of dollars to prop up an hollow tree seem a little crazy?

You need to watch your overhead signs to determine which lane to drive in. The directions of the lanes here on the bridge change from the morning to afternoon to help with the flow of commuter traffic.
