Hiking Vancouver Winter

I’m looking at visiting British Columbia in late September and do some hikes, any tips?

I’m looking at hiking in British Columbia at the end of September / early October. I would like to spend a couple of nights in the back country in either the rockies or vancouver island.

It is towards the end of the season. Are the trails / huts likely to still be open or shut for winter?
Any recomendations? Top day trails? Good 3 day backcountry trips?

I’ve done a fair bit of wild camping in Scotland, so have some expertise.

Stanley Park should be your first stop. Grouse mountain and Victoria is also an amazingly beautiful place.
