"Type: Hike
Level: Moderate
Bus: 262
This is in my opinion the hike with one of the best views around Vancouver! If you're getting there by bus, plan some time ahead because it's a bit of a journey. You should also know that to get to the trail head you have to walk an extra 1.6 km uphill from the bus stop. If you're getting there by car, there are also a few tweaks to know: you're aiming for the Sunset Trailhead parking (paid parking), but it has very limited spaces and it gets full quickly. Your other option would be to try to find a parallel parking spot on Mountain Drive a bit further down (paid parking). If that's also not available, you can park on the Lions Bay Elementary School overflow parking (free).
About the hike itself, it's a steady uphill following a logging road for the first 2 km. Then it levels out and gets completely flat for the rest of it, with a little bit of scrambling at the end. Note that there are also two streams to cross with funky log bridges. When you make it to the viewpoint you will be treated with the most spectacular panoramic view of the Howe Sound! "
