Hi guys apologies if I come across as an idiot , I moved to Vancouver from Ireland 3 weeks ago . If anyone could help me with 2 questions I would really appreciate it , me and friends are looking for a hike to go after work (around 5pm) for sunset with some beers and food . Could anyone recommend somewhere not too far or long of a hike for beginners , and we will be carrying a decent load and don’t want to have to rush it for sunset . Secondly , would I be right to say having a small fire and a few drinks out in the mountains is no problem as long as we properly extinguish and leave no trace ?
Any advice or insight would be fantastic,
(One last thing , would bears be a problem ? We don’t have them back home )
Thanks
