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. Grouse Mountain offers a limited amount of cross country trails.
Rentals are available for skis and snowshoes.
Due to a number of hikers, skiers, and snowboarders requiring rescue from the North Shore Mountains, and the escalating costs involved, many of the mountains now have very strict policies in effect regarding search and rescue. All visitors to local mountains should inquire as to the local mountain policy before starting out on the day's activities. All hikers must lodge a hike plan at most of the area trailheads. Be smart and stick to the marked trails. The hatchery's displays show various types of salmon and their life cycles, and the commercial aspects of the B.C. salmon industry.
