Overview

This is a relatively short, though very steep hike with some wonderful views at the top. The trail, although challenging, is strictly hiking, however it does have some steep sections, so appropriate footwear (ie not sandals) is a good call. The trail is well marked, and there is little to no route finding involved. Bring water, as you won't find any up here. Anticipate this hike taking from 3 to 4 hours.

Getting Started

Parking is an issue! BC transport has changed the rules and if you try to park at the section adjacent to the highway, you will be towed if parked for more than 20 minutes. This has been done to discourage people from popping across the highway to access the trailhead. Consider being dropped off, or you will need to start from the Lion's bay or something similar.

Taking Children

This is a 6 out of 10 for children. Steep, but not terribly arduous, this could make for a fun day out for a precocious kid.

    Great hike, with a very rewarding view up top. Trail is challenging so wear proper shoes! Took us about 3 hours round trip

    Great hike. Steep start, fairly undeveloped and great views of Howe Sound at the end. Took me about 3-hours up and down with a 20-minute break at the top.
