Kayaking the North Shore's Capilano River, via today's NYT. One of my favorite afternoon-out-of-the-store trails is visible on the canyon rim at upper left.

"The Capilano, which serves as a natural boundary between North and West Vancouver, is named for Joe Capilano, the great 19th-century chief of the Squamish tribe of the Coast Salish, who led expeditions to explore area mountains and valleys.

Some of the Capilano’s canyons feature rock faces 200 feet high. A few majestic cedars and Douglas firs stretch 300 feet skyward. Cable Pool is the nearest landmark under a footbridge connecting the Coho Loop Trail, part of a system of walkways amid the towering evergreens in the Capilano River Regional Park."
