Hollywood North · Twilight
The first Twilight film is Oregon. New Moon and Eclipse moved the saga to British Columbia. Fans still type 'Twilight house Vancouver' every day. Honest answer: the Cullen house is a private West Vancouver home. The Swan house is a private Surrey home. Jacob's house is a private Coquitlam home. Do not go. What you can walk is Minnekhada Regional Park — the forest that stood in for La Push — and the Sea-to-Sky as far as Porteau Cove.
Guided North Shore trips cover the coastal rainforest the films used; Minnekhada itself is a self-drive park.

Walking order
- Drive to Minnekhada Regional Park (Quarry Road, Coquitlam). Low Knoll lookout and the marsh trails are the Eclipse woods.
- The lodge interior is only on posted public days. It is a 1934 hunting lodge, not the Cullen dining room.
- Porteau Cove on Highway 99: pewter water, low cloud, the coastal frame New Moon used. Overcast is correct. Sun is the wrong film.
- Do not add Gilleys Trail, Stevens Drive or 28 Avenue in Surrey to the itinerary. Those are people's houses.
Forks, Washington, is a real town and a separate trip. Vancouver doubled the peninsula because the tax credit and the weather matched. If you came for vampires, the park and the highway are the legal, outdoor version.
