ABOUT THIS HIKE:  Mount Seymour is one of the most popular, and also, most
beautiful hikes in the Lower Mainland.  Trail access is at the north end of
the top parking lot at the Mt. Seymour ski area.  While this is a well used
trail, expect some muddy areas and a few patches of snow.  Slabs of bold
granite line the peak of this mountain, and several easy gulches will be
ascended to reach the top.  No technical climbing skills are required.  The
summit affords spectacular views in all directions.  

 


HOW TO GET TO MOUNT SEYMOUR: 


The trail to Mount Seymour is accessible from the downhill ski area parking
lot at Seymour in North Vancouver. To reach the parking lot, drive east to
the Trans Canada Highway (Highway #1) and enter the highway heading
westbound. Continue across the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge (Second Narrows)
and take Exit #22, Mt. Seymour Parkway, shortly after crossing the bridge.
At the set of lights, turn right onto Mt. Seymour Parkway and continue along
the parkway for about 4 km until you reach the traffic lights and small
shopping area at Mt. Seymour Road. Turn left onto Mt. Seymour Road and
continue straight as the road begins to climb up Mount Seymour for the next
13 km. Park at the far end of the parking lot near a wooden signboard with a
map of the area. Don't forget to buy a parking ticket. 

If interested, please send an email to outdoorsmenbc at yahoo.ca by FRIDAY,
AUGUST 05 to allow time for carpool organization.  Please indicate whether
you need or can provide transportation.
