Queen Elizabeth Park

Queen Elizabeth Park is the highest point in Vancouver, and unbeknownst to visitors, is the location of the city's water reservoir. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and there is a golf course in one corner. The Bloedel Conservatory is located on the hilltop; there, tropical plants and birds have their home.
