University of British Columbia
UBC can seem like a city unto itself. The campus stretches 402 hectares, flanked by the picturesque University Endowment Lands community and the Pacific Spirit Regional Park forested parklands. The campus itself offers much to see and do with amazing views of the ocean, mountains and city, and wonderful attractions such as the renowned Museum of Anthropology and UBC Botanical Gardens. Wandering the campus grounds can take a full day, but it's the various trails and walkways that attract the avid walkers.
Paths throughout the campus parks and greenery make for pleasant strolls, while the Endowment Lands offer enjoyable walks for all ages. The views along these walks range from impressive homes and fantastic ocean and mountain views, to flourishing gardens, natural flora and of course spectacular forests throughout the parklands. Many trails are marked with walking directions and distance.
