Deep Cove + Spirit Trail East

A ride described in Let's Go Biking

How we describe routes →

Ambitious A real undertaking. Demanding on a couple of fronts, like rough surfaces plus steady climbing, or a long stretch on busier roads.

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.

This 10 km loop out to Deep Cove in North Vancouver mixes seaside path and forest riding, with one honest climb rewarded by open water views over Indian Arm. Deep Cove's cafes and famous doughnuts make the natural halfway stop.
