This beautifully forested hiking trail is a local favourite running route comparable to the Grouse Grind. In 4.5k the trail rises 730 metres and hardly ever in a straight line. There are a few good viewpoints on the hike to Lynn Peak. It is convenient hiking trail, close to downtown Vancouver as it is only about a 30 minute drive away into the magnificent rainforest of North Van.
Nice alternative to Grouse GrindDog friendlyConvenient from downtown VanLynn Canyon Park is nearbyNot as busy as other Van trailsFree of snow earlier than most trails
Some find the hike not worth the effortSummit view is not overly impressiveParking is often a chaotic messNot a whole lot to see on the trail
