Stone, Bone & Water: Cretaceous Capilano Fossil Field Trip

Fossil Huntress — Palaeo Sommelier

Cretaceous Capilano Fossil Field Trip — From downtown Vancouver, drive north through Stanley Park and over the Lion’s Gate Bridge. Take the North Vancouver exit toward the ferries.

Turn right onto Taylor Way and then right again at Clyde Avenue. Look for the Park Royal Hotel. Park anywhere along Clyde Avenue.
From Clyde Avenue walk down the path to your left towards the Capilano River.

Watch the water level and tread cautiously as it can be slippery if there has been any recent rain. Look for beds of sandstone about 200 meters north of the private bridge and just south of the Highway bridge.

The fossil beds are just below the Whytecliff Apartment high rises. Be mindful of high water and slippery rocks.
