Vancouver Travels: Grouse Mountain, North Vancouver, And More

Here are some more random pictures of my adventures in Vancouver. These are all the other things I saw in the city that I could not fit in any of my other Vancouver posts.

Vancouver Lookout Media Gallery + Gastown Steam Clock

One of the things you can do in Vancouver is to go up to the Vancouver Lookout to get 360-degree views of Vancouver and the surrounding area. I believe admission was around $21 plus tax, which was not too bad. Right off the bat, I forgot to get a picture of the actual Vancouver Lookout tower up close, but you will see it in another upcoming Vancouver post, so here is a generic downtown Vancouver picture.

Meandering Around Granville Island In Vancouver

Last March was the first time I ever flew out to the west coast of Canada, and there were other things that I did that were not going to football matches or going to high-priced attractions. I want to talk about the other things I did in the very short time that I had here. I stayed in downtown Vancouver for two nights, and downtown Vancouver did not feel all that different than downtown Toronto, with the high-rise condominiums, gentrified shops, and odd people. Regardless, on the morning of the first day when we got to the hotel, we went to Granville Island for some food and shopping.

Capilano Suspension Bridge: Vancouver’s High-Priced Attraction

I did a tourist thing while I was in Vancouver, and that is to go check out the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This was something I always seen people check out whenever they were in Vancouver for the first time, and so I wanted to check it out as well, at a great cost to my wallet. We went right when the park opened, so the attraction was not busy at all, which was fantastic.

I Went To A Vancouver Whitecaps Match. Here Are My HONEST Thoughts.

I was in Vancouver for a couple of days, and lucky for me, my visit coincided with the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16 1st leg match between the hometown Vancouver Whitecaps and Mexican side CF Monterrey at BC Place. I did not have anything planned that night, so I bought myself a ticket. Outside of Toronto FC, I have never been to a match at another MLS team's home ground, so I was excited that I got to see what the Whitecaps match experience would be like, especially compared to when I would go watch Toronto FC matches at BMO Field.
