Cypress mountain has THE BEST views of Howe Sound and Georgia Straight. This western north shore mountain is a 30 minute drive from Downtown Vancouver. In the summer, take in the multiple hiking trails and skiing, tubing, or snowboarding in the winter. The views are breathtaking; it is one of my favorite activity centers all year round.
