Sun Jul 05 2020Lovely hike with numerous viewpoints and a wonderful view at the top. Google Maps takes you halfway up the trail so walk was quicker and likely steeper. Some loose rocks so be careful of footing on the coastal arm.
Sat Jun 20 2020Excellent trail! Great way to spend a few hours with decent climbs and beautiful views of the surrounding area!
Fri Jun 19 2020Sat Jun 13 2020Sun Jun 07 2020Nice trail with stunning ocean views. I loved seeing all the arbutus trees along the cliffs. It made for some great bird watching.
Sat May 23 2020Nice trail with great views! Cute swing at the top. Lots of hiking up hill but also lots of breaks.
Thu May 21 2020Great views! Nice ups followed by flat ground so you can recover. Nice scenery! Open on top, wide trails
Fri Mar 20 2020Beautiful views, rocky trail
Tue Mar 10 2020Leads to the nicest view in the whole area! My absolute favourite anytime of the year
Sat Mar 07 2020very enjoyable trail, lots of ups and downs. my brother and I did it in the winter and parts were very muddy (as to be expected) but overall some really great scenery. it was super foggy but it added to the atmosphere, the view points were a bit disappointing as you couldn't see the water due to fog coverage. will be visiting this trail again in the warmer months
Wed Jan 01 20204 stars for the view. Year round hike.
Wed Jan 01 2020Wed Nov 27 2019Fantastic adventure hiking in BC! The views were stunning!
Sat Aug 31 2019Awesome hike, view after view after view. Go early enough in the morning and you swear you’re the only person in the whole park. Easy footing, some rocky parts and some inclines, some areas aren’t marked well either and can get turned around fairly easy. But it’s definitely worth it.
Mon Aug 26 2019Thu Jul 25 2019Great trail for the first half of the loop. Has good views and a nice path. The second half of the loop is along a road and could be made better by walking along the water trail.
Thu Jul 25 2019First half of the trail was great. Beautiful overlooks of the inlet. The second half of this trail was on a highway, I would recommend turning around and going back the way you came instead.
Thu Jul 18 2019Didn’t have cell service at the trailhead so couldn’t access the trail map till I reached Holmes Peak - didn’t need it, well marked out. Nice views from there to Jocelyn Hill. Looped back using part of Timberman Trail and Holmes Peak bypass. Some sections with loose rocks and steep ups and downs using that way back - but had a good 11 km hike.
Sun Jun 30 2019Simply amazing! Great hike! Challenging enough in some sections.
Wed Jun 05 2019We just do the trek up to Jocelyn Hill and back, haven't done the loop yet, but the best part of the trail is the incredible view along the ridge. Very scenic hike and would recommend it highly. Trail is good, but wear proper footwear.
Tue May 28 2019Great little trail. Took my dog there today. We ended up doing a total of around 11km. Pretty secluded in some spots, we only saw a handful of people. Good burn. Lots of hills, but flat too. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thu May 09 2019Burned the most calories here so far. Its never boring. A good amount of hike and flat surfaces. Sprained my ankle here today. Wear comfortable shoes preferably with ankle protectors/stabilizers. Lotsa rocky/loose gravel trails. But otherwise I enjoyed it. Best scenery so far! Bring lunch and enjoy!
Tue May 07 2019Hiked in early May and enjoyed the wildflowers. Amazing views as others have said. Lots of cute little green lizards (European Wall Lizards I think). Good workout without being overly strenuous. Would imagine it gets hot in the summer.
Tue Mar 26 2019Wicked 3 hour hike, my kids are 10, 11, and 13 and found it hard but very rewarding. Spectacular views of strait of Georgia and Victoria. I would highly recommend it
Sun Jan 06 2019Lovely hike, great views! Would suggest a good pair of hiking boots during winter hikes, some sections are pretty muddy! My pup and I will definitely be hiking this trail again :)
Wed Jan 02 2019Great hike! Took us about 3 hours with lunch. Beautiful scenery! Challenging enough you’re not bored.
Sun Dec 16 2018Pretty moderate. Went in December and was pretty muddy in places, would recommend hiking boots.
Fri Nov 09 2018really beautiful views
Mon Oct 01 2018Trail Condition: Easy to follow for the most part. There are one or two places where you might get a bit confused or lost but if you keep to the main trail you are fine. Well maintained. Aesthetic: Lovely trail and views all around. Distance/Elevation: Longer distance, some steep sections but overall there are nice sections between hills. View Point/Summit: Great view points and summit.
