With the high price of gas putting a damper on many weekend plans that require a bit of a drive - here is a nice surprise. This summer you can get some great outdoors time in while saving some bucks thanks to afree shuttle bus service that will run between Vancouver and Golden Ears Provincial Park.
Parkbus operated last summer as a pilot program, but this year, with support from MEC and TD you can ride the bus free.
Operated by Vancouver based Environmentall Sound Transportation, Parkbus will run every Saturday and Sunday, starting July 7th until September 2nd with departures from MEC Vancouver Store on West Broadway in the morning, and returning late afternoon.
You will need to pre-book your seat online with a credit card deposit to prevent no-shows, and the reservations will open up in mid June.
Ahead of your reserved trip, riders will get safety information and park details via email. While on board, you can learn about Leave No Trace principles from a ride facilitator.
At 62,540 hectares, Golden Ears is one of the biggest parks in B.C.
Known for its extensive trail systems for hikers and equestrian use, Golden Ears is also home to Alouette Lake, which is a popular spot for swimming, windsurfing, water skiing, canoeing, boating and fishing.
