Pacific Spirit Park – My Favorite Escape Near UBC 🌲💙

This is the kind of place you step into and never want to leave. 🌿 About Pacific Spirit Park: Nestled beside UBC Vancouver, this 750-acre protected forest is a magical blend of towering coastal cedars, lush ferns, and winding trails that immerse you in the Pacific Northwest’s wild beauty. The air smells like earth and salt, sunlight filters through the canopy, and every path feels like a secret doorway into nature’s calm. 🚶‍♀️ Why I Love It: Trails for everyone: Hike, bike, or just wander under the trees. Wildlife whispers: Spot owls, eagles, and the occasional coyote (from a safe distance!). Seasonal magic: Golden fall leaves ❄️ winter mist, spring blossoms 🌸—every visit feels new. Dog paradise 🐕: Every time I go, I think “I NEED a dog to walk here with me!” (The local pups are living their best lives.) Friendly vibes: Everyone says “Morning!” with a smile—it’s the law of the forest. 🏡 Bonus Quirk: The nearby apartments? Brand new but leasehold (UBC land = no freehold). Still, imagine waking up to ocean on one side, ancient forest on the other—no wonder they’re popular! 📍 Pacific Spirit Regional Park (Edge of UBC) #VancouverHikes #PacificSpiritPark #UBC #NatureTherapy #WestCoastWonder 🌊
