The direction and the reason we need go early the 3rd
Directions
Translink Bus Information
C12 Lions Bay map schedule
257 Horseshoe Bay Express map schedule
1. Drive North from Vancouver for about 11km on Hwy 99 toward Lions Bay
2. Take the Oceanview Road exit. Take the left on Cross Creek Road, turn right on center Road, left on Bayview Road, pass by a school, left on Mountain Drive, then finally left on Sunset Drive and park near the yellow gate.
3. No parking fees are involved, but as there is limited space, you want to make sure that you are there not to late as then there will be no available spots. If the trailhead parking is full, alternative parking is available at the elementary school back down the road. There is a new trail connecting the elementary school overflow parking to the main trail.
Lions Bay can be reach by public transit on community shuttle bus C12 from Horsehoe Bay. (Bus 257 goes to Horseshoe Bay from downtown Vancovuer) The bus route ends in the middle of the village, so you will have to walk the last 2km or so from the bus stop to the trailhead.
Parking at the trailhead has been a bit of an issue. The municipality has put up "No Parking" signs. There is limited parking for non-residents at the trailhead. You may need to hunt around for parking elsewhere in town. Additional parking can be found at the school that you pass on the way to the trailhead. There is a trail from the school parking lot that joins up with the main road beyond the yellow gate.
Trail Description
The trailhead is at the same old "parking lot" as for the West Lion and Mount Brunswick trails. The start is just past the yellow gate, up the long gravel road. Ignore the first intersection on the road and head right. The second intersection you will pass is the the turnoff for Mount Brunswick to the left, so just keep right for now. On the third one, keep right again as the trail to the left leads to the north face of Mt. Harvey and is not the correct trail , although it is possible to climb it with plenty of effort and precaution. Consider it if you are looking for a moderate climb and have the proper equipment. Finally, on the fourth intersection, turn left as the right will take you up to the Lions . If you are weary of these intersections, not to worry as they are all properly marked and hard to miss. Now through the forest, up, up and up. There will be a waterfall where you could make a short break and fill up on water, note that this is about the only place with a water source along the entire trail. After a few hours of continuous uphill, you will come out to a ridge which will take you to the top of Mt. Harvey, but it is still at least an hour, so you may consider this place for a break. This area was blazed by fire a long time ago as you may notice on the trees. Don't forget your camera as the view from the top is extraordinary. |
