Alice Lake Hiking Trail, Squamish, BC

This was my idea of a perfect weekend hike - A nice, easy stroll through the woods on a well-marked trail, with nice spots to chill or go for a swim.

We really took our time, and so it took us a little less than four hours to get around. It was a hot, sunny weekend so Alice Lake was packed, but the trail was not that busy.

If you're looking for a nice relaxing hike to get out in nature, I highly recommend this one.

According to the BC Parks website, dogs are permitted on a leash but NOT allowed on the Alice Lake trail, playgrounds, beaches, or picnic areas. By Alice Lake trail, I think this is the area around just Alice Lake and not necessarily on the trail that passes the 4 Lakes.

Of course, you should obey all marked signs.

I would just like to state that Alice Lake is NOT dog friendly. There are signs everywhere that state that dogs are not allowed. Just a tip!

We left home with the intent on camping at Alice lake... unfortunately it was all full. We ended up camping across the highway at Paradise Valley campsite. It was really nice with lush campsites. We woke up in the morning and went to hike around the Alice lake loop trail. We parked and followed the signs so it took us the furthest way around all the 4 lakes. We stopped at the river and shortly after this we saw a BLACK BEAR! He stopped looked at us and then carried on towards the river. The whole loop took us under 2 hours and was very easy. We did the hike in runners. We then went back to the car and took sandwiches down to Alice lake.
