BMUT Lougheed to Gastown

A ride described in Let's Go Biking

How we describe routes →

Moderate One step up. Some real climbing, or a rougher surface.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

How we describe routes →

An extension of the Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail, this 21 km one-way route runs from Lougheed to Gastown, trading forest for waterfront and finishing among historic brick streets. SkyTrain stations at both ends make the logistics effortless: ride one way, train back.
