Burnaby Mountain is located at Simon Fraser University high above, and overlooking Burrard Inlet. The views north are of Vancouver making it a popular location to view the Celebration of Light fireworks festival on English Bay. Horizons Restaurant located on Burnaby Mountain also has this amazing view of Vancouver as well as Indian Arm to the north. Recent years have accumulated several mountain biking trails, making the mountain very popular with local riders. The stunning totem poles and amazing rose garden are from Burnaby's sister city, Kushiro, Japan. With several hiking and biking trails to choose from, Burnaby Mountain Park is a great place to escape into the wilderness above Vancouver.
