This is a great post, and helps me better understand both how to prepare for rainy hikes, but also the positive spin you put on rainy, Wet-Coast weather really comes down to attitude. Be prepared, stay dry, soak it in.

My Husband and I love to try out new places to walk and hike in Vancouver but this rain is just not letting up for the past few weeks/months! You’re right, if we keep waiting every weekend for the rain to stop we’ll never get out and enjoy nature!

Hiking in the rain is a great experience that we should try, but it’s quite hard if it rains cats and dogs outside.
Bringing all the waterproof gear is also essential. I remember last year when I went camping with my friends in Phoenix, Az. It rained heavily and our tent flooded away, haha. What an unforgettable memory!

Thanks Danielle! I also used to hike far less often in the rainy months but now unless the forecast calls for more than 25-30mm of rain, I just go out anyway.

My go-to hike for rainy days is the Lynn Headwaters Loop and Norvan falls in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park. It can get a little messy with the mud but there is lots of tree cover so you don’t get really soaked. For a shorter hike I also like Whyte Lake in West Van.

I also live in Vancouver and have for the past 4 years. The first year I was definitely less likely to go out in the rain but you quickly start to realize if you don’t go outside… you’re never going to go outside in the winter! Haha. I’ve tried to embrace it and just be prepared with good rain gear. Great point on bringing snacks that are easy to eat in the rain!

Do you have any go-to hikes you like to do in the rain?
