There are easy trails for beginners and more challenging routes for the more adventurous hiker. On clear days, spectacular views of Vancouver, its harbour and the surrounding municipalities can be seen from all three mountains. My family had never tried snow shoeing before, so I drove up to Seymour Mountain. My two children, aged eleven and thirteen, found the experience very exciting and immediately took the lead. The trails were easily identified and simple to follow.
All junction points are well marked and the trail map was easy to follow.
The trails were not overly crowded. While we stopped for lunch in the snow, only one other group went past our make-shift picnic site. On the way back to the parking lot, we saw a couple of cross-country skiers and several others on snowshoes. While on these hikes, you get the awesome feeling of being alone in the woods, while at the same time having the reassurance that others are not too far away. Images of our trip to Seymour Mountain.
