Day 1: the essentials
The first day is about orientation: see the town, eat well, get your bearings. Day two is for lingering.
Hai Lake - Mount Herman Provincial Park
Hai Lake - Mount Herman Provincial Park is a natural first stop for the morning. Give yourself a proper wander rather than a photo-and-go; a slow loop is the whole point.
Day 2: go deeper
With day one covered, day two is for the town's other side: markets, neighborhoods, and the stops that didn't fit day one.
Sleeping Beauty Mountain Provincial Park
Sleeping Beauty Mountain Provincial Park makes the morning: fresh air, room to walk, no tickets or timetables. It's the kind of stop that sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Swan Creek Protected Area
Swan Creek Protected Area is a natural first stop for the morning. Give yourself a proper wander rather than a photo-and-go; a slow loop is the whole point.
