Maple Ridge, BC

Maple Ridge is a district municipality in the province of British Columbia, Canada. It has an area of 212 square kilometres, and it is located between the larger municipalities of Pitt Meadows and Langley. It is bounded on the east by the Fraser River, to the south by the municipality of Langley, to which it was once connected by land route, and to the west by other unincorporated areas (Pitt Meadows) adjacent to Maple Ridge.
It is home to some of the most beautiful natural environment in all of Canada, and surrounding area. It includes many mountains, rivers and lakes (Garibaldi Lake). There are also some famous hills like Golden Ears, which make Maple Ridge an attractive place for outdoor family activities, like hiking, and mountain biking.
However, the Golden Ears trail and Paradise Meadows and Pipeline and Riverside trails (all dismounted-only trails) are closed for a while after rainfalls, mainly because they become exceptionally dangerous. They can be hard to see during more extended periods of rain, and there is also a high chance for riders to get stuck in the mud. The trails are closed until conditions are much better, so this is not a permanent restriction.
Maple Ridge is also home to some advanced recreational facilities, which are great for mountain biking enthusiasts. There are many terrain parks in Maple Ridge; one of them can be found at Golden Ears, which rescues riders from the scorching heat of the summer with its perfect powdery snow. The park is equipped for riders to have a great time on it regardless of the season they are riding. There are many trails available for different level riders, ranging from easy ones to challenging trails. Maple Ridge is also a home for many natural pests and wildlife.
