Cypress Falls Park West Vancouver - OMG I SUCK AT HIKING!
Cypress Falls is the perfect hike, Just a short walk takes you through a dense forest full of old Cedar and Douglas Fir trees while following Cypress Creek up past two beautiful waterfalls.
From the parking lot, walk past the outhouse and towards the trail that heads into the forest. Go left and walk towards the sound of rushing water as the trail gradually makes its way uphill. A few steps from the parking lot, you arrive at the first junction. Continue to your left, as later, we will return along the other trail on the way back.
The hiking trail winds through forests of Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar trees covered in moss from the moist environment. Just a little further along the trail and at the bottom of a short hill is a viewpoint of the lower Cypress Falls from a rocky viewing area. Stop to take in the rushing water as it flows over the edge and drops into the canyon below.
Continue along the trail towards the wooden bridge up ahead. Later we will cross the bridge but first continue up the steep section of the trail as it follows alongside the creek towards the upper falls. Fallen trees and stumps alongside the trail play an important role in replenishing the forest as new growth can be seen sprouting from the dead wood.
Continue up the steep hill until you reach a chain-link fence with a large warning sign on it. This is the border of Cypress Falls Park and beyond this point belongs to a development company, which allows hikers to use their land. Continue past the fence and uphill, as it's only a short distance to the upper falls.
As the sound of rushing water grows louder, watch for the waterfall up ahead to your right. From the viewing area, the upper falls can be seen dropping into the canyon below. Do not venture too close to the edge of the cliff as the loose dirt may be unstable and could give way from the weight of someone walking on it.
