It is more like 2 hours, not 3, and I am pretty unfit.

My wife a friend & I did this on April 11, 2010. Our 1st hike of the season, this was a good way to judge our fitness level. A few steep sections that got the heart rate up but nothing that we couldn't handle at an easy pace. We completed this in 3 hours including a few stops along the way for a snack & to take pictures. We saw a lot of trail runners, cyclists on one section & some very happy dogs along the way. This is a safe all season trail.

For slightly longer and a viewpoint:
After the Power lines, instead of going straight along Baden Powell, turn right and follow the Richard Juryn Trail.
It goes at the right side along the Power line for a while; don't turn at any of the turns keep going until the trail cross the power line by itself. Then the trail will go up and at highest point of the hill there is a viewpoint. Then you can continue along the Richard Juryn Trail until you reach back to the Baden Powell gravel trail. Turn right to go towards the access road.
This will take you about half an hour more, without counting the picture-time ;)

For a slightly shorter (2.5 hours), start from the Suspension Bridge, and follow the Twin Bridges Trail instead of Homestead Trail, connecting to Fisherman's trail (crossing Pipeline Bridge, joining Baden Powell and then Suspension Bridge Trail). Good maps are available at the Rice Lake Gate office (note that the "Two Canyon Loop" is not officially marked on the map). Good hiking this Sunday, not too muddy, and good workout in parts.

This is one of the nicest and easier trail runs in the area. It is my favourite in bad weather when some of the other trails are too slippery or slushy. Also Homestead has a few large doug firs worth admiring. I do it in the opposite direction and go by 30 foot pool because I am coming from lynn valley down rice lake road. It is all good.

Just finished this hike with my girlfriend, November 23, 2009. It was a good challenge, but going in november in the rainy season ment very muddy terrain. I liked how natural the trail was the further in and the small wooden bridges throughout the trail are intresting.

Completed the Two Canyon Loop this Sunday, an unexpected sunny spring day. We stopped a few times for pictures and to take in the scenery and still came in around 3 hours. For the first hour and a half, it's a nice walk through the forest. But once you cross the first bridge, there are a few uphill sections - great to feel your quads burning. A nice hike to warm up your legs in the spring before you take on some longer day hikes in the summer. ps. the exit to get to Lillooet Road is Exit #22, not #19.
