Beautiful and very long trail. We were on our way to Seymour but due to not having day pass we came back 1-2 kms from pass check point and went to this trail towards deep cove direction. It was snowy and slippery. Having microspikes on your shoes will make it easier. Although we managed to walk in normal hiking shoes with caution. From parking it is descending towards deep cove so coming back takes some effort.
Well maintained trail and easy to trek. Accessed from Indian Mountain Drive, as Deep Cove entrance is closed due to Covid. No snow but lots of muddy spots.
Highly recommending! Don’t be afraid of intermediate trail level, it is ok to climb up around 1 hr. From downtown Vancouver you can take the bus 211. Honestly I would prefer this trail then the Calipano park which costs around 50$ for the admission. The view on top is incredible and speechless.
Well maintained trail with moderate intensity, about 1.5 to 2 hours to the Quarry rock and back, with stairs, trails and more. Great 1 day getaway trip for the family as the surrounding areas are family friendly. Parking can be difficult but it is well marked where you can and can't park. Suggest to go there early, we arrived around 9:30 parking was not a problem, cars lined up as we leaving around noon. Great view from the Quarry rock, it's a open area with no fence so use common sense at the of the rock. I've seen people flying drones there and no sign saying you can't, looks very fun.
We've all heard of Glamping, well this hike was like #gliking with all the wooden stairs that were built through the forest. Don't get me wrong there's still lots of areas where you need to walk over tree roots, but the stairs are a work of great craftsmanship. Beautiful view at the end.
The end of the trail at Quarry Rock is really worth it ! But the trail itself is not very interesting. Lots of stairs and despite a few tiny waterfalls, nothing interesting to be seen before reaching the end.
It was still a bit snowy when I went in the end of February so I recommend getting hiking shoes. I went super early at 6am and was the second one on the trail. It is a pretty easy hike if you have proper shoes and during the warmer seasons. I love the view and the little streams of water and bridges that you pass by during the hike. Definitely recommend going earlier to avoid the hoards of people and dogs.
