Hike the relatively unknown 1.67 kilometre Noons Creek Trail in Port Moody. Accessed via very non-descript rocky stairs off of Port Moody's main North-South viaduct Heritage Mountain Boulevard, the trail is a hidden gem. This aptly named trail parallels the Noons Creek as it snakes through neighbourhoods up to a few hundred meters north of the East-West David Avenue. The terrain is a mix of soil, rocks, roots and steps. The elevation gain gives the Grouse Grind and Coquitlam Crunch fair competition -- albeit a shorter alternative. On one side are luxuriously scaped backyards and on the other a steep canyon down to the flowing creek. Expect to see many local dog walkers. Occassionally there is a spur off the trail to a local road to keep mindful of.
