Highlights

What Sets This Trip Apart True Wilderness Challenge This is not a casual walk in the woods — it's one of the most difficult and remote hikes in the North Shore region, offering experienced hikers a rare chance to disconnect and go deep into wild terrain. Off-the-Grid Tranquility You’ll likely have Elsay Lake all to yourself. No crowds. No noise. Just glacial waters, towering cliffs, and absolute stillness — a sacred reward for your effort. Led by a Trained Local Wilderness Guide Navigate safely through forested gullies and scree slopes with a guide who knows the area’s hazards, wildlife, and history, and who is certified in wilderness first aid. High-Impact Fitness Adventure With 1,000+ meters of elevation gain over nearly 20 km roundtrip, this hike is ideal for adventurers looking to test their limits, improve endurance, and conquer nature’s toughest offerings.

    1 hAdmission included

  2. Mount Seymour Provincial Park Start your journey in one of British Columbia’s most rugged and scenic provincial parks. The hike begins at the Mount Seymour Trailhead, offering panoramic views of the North Shore Mountains, and on clear days, glimpses of downtown Vancouver and the Salish Sea.

About Vancouver

Vancouver sits between mountains and the Pacific, a green, outdoorsy city of seawall walks, forested parks, beaches and diverse neighbourhoods.

Stanley Park, a vast forested peninsula beside downtown, is circled by the seawall, a waterside path loved by walkers and cyclists, and dotted with totem poles at Brockton Point. Granville Island's public market, artisan studios and theatres sit beneath a bridge across False Creek, and Gastown, the oldest neighbourhood, has cobbled streets and its famous steam clock.
