Worth the trip around Vancouver
The places with the most to tell about. The numbers match the map.
Vancouver's beaches come first: 30 of them, Sunset Beach at 3.5 km, Kitsilano Beach at 3.8 km, Jericho Beach at 6.3 km. Point Atkinson Lighthouse (1912) at 13.8 km, Brockton Point Lighthouse and Prospect Point Lighthouse in Stanley Park are three of four lights. The North Shore mountains put Grouse Mountain at 15.5 km and 12 waterfalls inside the radius, Twin Falls, Lower Cypress Falls and Kennedy Falls among them.
Eighty-two viewpoints is the biggest count, the Harbour Centre Lookout Tower at 3.9 km and the Siwash Rock Viewpoint at 7.1 km among them, and 51 monuments include the Gastown Steam Clock. The ruins include sawmill leftovers, the Mill Remnants at 13.8 km and the North Pacific Lumber Company Barnet Mill Burner at 14.9 km. Beach quests here come with mountains in the background.
Each hexagon covers a little over 5 square kilometers. The brighter it glows, the more places are inside it. The numbers mark the highlights listed below; the dot in the middle is the center of Vancouver.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
