Lynn Peak Hiking Trail, North Vancouver, BC

Just did this hike (July 24th) and it was great. It's a fairly steep hike that leaves you scrambling on a lot of loose rock but the view from the top is well worth the journey. I had hiking boots, but a friend did it in sport sandals pretty easily.

It's not very long and it should take you a couple hours max to get to the top.

If you want to keep your sanity wear BUG REPELLENT, otherwise there's a chance you'll be carried away in a giant swarm of flies.

Hah - Colene, I just searched out this hike to see what others had thought of it, and maybe we saw you (we also went on June 13th, 2010 - left at about 3pm and got back to the vehicle at 9pm.)

We also didn't make it all the way to the top - we got about 5 minutes away (our friend ran ahead to get a photo from the top; we had to make a decision to go back down due to light.

Very difficult on the knees coming back sure - going up was not a problem, but down seemed to take forever and was quite, in my opinion, unpleasant!

Regardless, I would do this hike again - but maybe after my legs and feet have healed :P

Wow, what a hike. It's a good comparison to the Grouse Grind although spread out over more terrain. I would consider this more intermediate-difficult than just intermediate. I hiked this today (June 13, 2010) and we were getting pretty tired near the end...we didn't even make it all the way to the very top. It was also pretty hard on the knees on the way down...lots of rocky sections.

Hiked this one yesterday. Being my first big hike besides the Chief this one is well marked and a great challenge. We hit snow patches near the summit but nothing to stop us. The view was spectacular except for the low clouds but will return to this one later this month.

I enjoyed this hike. It was easier and far less crowded than the Grouse Grind. It was easy to get to by transit and I enjoyed the views!
