When hiking in the mountains here, do not go beyond your abilities or provisions. Stay on well marked trails and leave plenty of time to get back to the trailhead before night fall which happens quite quickly in the dense forest. Many hikers have to get rescued every weekend from the trails in the summer. Most of these are unnecessary rescues where tourists were completely unprepared and got lost on the trails.

There are a lot of black bears around in the summer. Be Bear aware when hiking around the North Shore areas.

All of the commercial and residential areas of the North Shore have cell phone coverage. However, the terrain here is quite mountainous and therefore there are dead spots here and there and once you get off on the hiking trails you lose cell phone coverage amazingly quickly.

There are a few internet cafes on Lonsdale avenue and scattered about the North Shore. You shouldn't have very much trouble finding one.
