=== To go North ===
If you want to go North out of Vancouver towards Squamish and Whistler, catch the #257 Express heading to Horseshoe Bay (2 minute walk from the Granville Street Skytrain Station). The ride takes 25 minutes or more, and can be very full of people with luggage near ferry departure times. Try to leave yourself time as drivers with full buses must sometimes pass you by. Get off at the last stop, which is the Horseshoe Bay Ferry terminal. Catch the community shuttle C12 Brunswick and ask the bus driver to let you off near the end of his route at the good hitch hiking spot; they all know where it is. From there you face all the traffic headed north up the Sea to Sky corridor.
Another spot easily accessed is near the mall Park Royal. To reach Park Royal take any of the 250 or 257 buses from downtown off West Georgia St and get off at the Park Royal North stop. Walk back in the direction the bus came from to Taylor Way. If you walk up Taylor way on the right side there is a great spot about 75-100 metres up. Stand behind the rail on the sidewalk and hitch from there. It has a great pullout for cars and you catch all the traffic coming from downtown going up to Squamish, Whistler, and beyond.
