Parks & Nature
Hike to the top of Terrace Hill for a fantastic view of the city and surrounding mountains. Fun walk/hike takes you across the Jennifer St bridge to Terrace Hill. Give yourself 1.5 hours for a casual walk. Take the trail up from the Bishop St side. For shorter walk just go to the top of the Jennifer St Bridge.
