Fraser Loop

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.

How we describe routes →

The Fraser Loop runs 35 km along the river through Burnaby, Vancouver, Richmond, and New Westminster, following the working waterfront where log booms, tugs, and herons share the water. Mostly flat with connecting city streets, a good half-day that shows a side of the region most rides miss.
