Because... all the tourists go... and love it! The forests are beautiful, it's easy to walk around and the suspension bridge is cool to see. It gets very busy almost all year. It's mostly outdoors so prepare for the weather and walking through a forest park.

This would be a moderate to easy short hike through a trail and out to the rocky point. The views are spectacular out into the Straight of Georgia. Take a picnic and a blanket to sit on the rocks and take in the views.
