Map & elevation
Elevation profile
A full-route elevation profile is not available yet. The mapped paths have not been verified as one continuous outing.
Choose a specific route where available. Individual map fragments are not shown as separate hike stages.
City mapped trail segments / park network; not a single measured hiking itinerary. Line source (opens original source).
Getting there & parking
Navigate to the municipal entrance at 3800 Rainbow Drive. Use the public park access and note your entrance before exploring the connecting paths. Rainbow Park is explicitly pet-free, so choose another park for an outing with a dog.

Map position: 53.91803, -122.79185 · park reference point derived inside official boundary. Official City ParkName=Rainbow Park; OBJECTID=1355; active park polygon. Marker computed inside its largest polygon, checked against exterior and holes. Park location marker for orientation; not a source-published parking point or trailhead. Neighbourhood park existence does not establish a named hiking route.
On the trail
Follow the multi-use and nature paths between the planted areas and forested kettles. A rustic bridge, shaded gazebo and picnic sites provide natural stops, while the playground and disc-golf course occupy other parts of the park. Watch for disc-golf activity when paths pass near play areas. The City does not publish a defined loop length or measured cumulative climb here; choose a short circuit using the paths on site rather than interpreting the park as a long backcountry trail.
The way back
Choose a short circuit among the established nature paths and return to the same entrance. The municipal page does not publish a measured named loop.
Conditions & seasons
Season-specific access has not been established in this guide. Read the dated notices and original land-manager information before choosing a departure date.
These are dated research notes. Open the trip planner for current available weather and advisory feeds; no alert found does not establish that a trail or road is open.
Camping & overnight plans
On-route camping permission has not been established for this outing. Check the relevant land manager before planning an overnight stay; a mapped lake, cabin or previous tent location does not confirm permission.
