If you have a car, Lynn Canyon wins on value every single time. If you&#8217;re using transit, Capilano offers easier access with direct buses from downtown making the convenience premium somewhat justified.<\/p><p>Capilano becomes worth the cost only during Canyon Lights at Christmas when they illuminate the bridge and forest creating a magical nighttime atmosphere.

The BCMC trail offers a free alternative if you&#8217;re athletic enough to hike up steep switchbacks, then you can pay $20 for the Skyride down instead of both directions. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-106a810 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"106a810\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db7b2cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db7b2cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.
