This episode has two locations.
1. Baltar's House
Tidewater Way, Lions Bay
Travel Tips: Baltar's house at Lions Bay is another location not to be missed. Park in the public lot near the water, and use the public beach access. Don't be like us and spend at least half an hour taking pictures of the water, ourselves and the water, the rocks, ourselves and the rocks, and not notice the house behind! Near the washrooms is a raised grassy area where you can enjoy a spectacular view (the one on the bottom left) of the house and the water, perfect for a picnic (we've had two--one on each trip :D). Even the drive from Vancouver is amazing (~35 min), with a postcard view around every turn.
2. Sharon and Helo campfire site
Quarry Picnic Area, Cypress Provincial Park, West Vancouver. The access road to the park is from the Upper levels Highway (routes 1 and 99) in West Vancouver. From the city of Vancouver, access is by crossing the Lions Gate Bridge to the Upper Levels Highway via Taylor Way in West Vancouver.

Map of Cypress Provincial Park
Help Needed: We've not been to Cypress Provincial Park. Looking at the map (the link above), the Quarry picnic area may be located by Quarry Lookout. Locations can often be found off main roads very close to the entrance of parks (production needs easy access). There is a marked picnic area on the map that is much farther into the park.
