Lynn Peak

Great view at the top, challenging loose steep rock terrain for the first half. No snow in sight

A good early season peak, moderately trafficked and basically snow free by the end of May. However, the trail resembles an old creekbed for most of the way and the loose rock and can be difficult for footing. Hiking boots are highly recommended. There are a handful of limited vistas on the trail, but the end of the trail offers great views of Mt. Baker, Burnaby Mountain, and the Second Narrows Bridge.

5-hours round trip, steep and with abundance of loose rocks, some muddy and nearly no-through spots in trail. Trail is entirely within the woods with few vista points. Vista at the top was somewhat worth it.

-Steep uphill sections. Great alternative to Grouse.
-Very rocky.
-Path was always clear.
-Maintenance spotty in parts
-End vista point and a few peekaboo views, mostly interior of forest.

This hike was not overly long not was it short. There were a few challenging spots but over pretty well rounded. If you have knee or joint issues be aware the decent is not very kind on your body. Took about 4 hrs from the parking lot to the top and back again.

Hiked up there in mid May. The trail was clear and the weather could not have been better. Nice workout on a Saturday morning. Less crowded and less commercial than Grouse Grind.
Will do it again.

Just did the Lynn Peak today it was awesome! Very challenging terrain but rewarding once you finished. Nice work out for the cardio. Will definitely do it again!

Great view from the top of the city below... Not sure what everyone's beef is. The hike up is rough but the hike down is worse... Most of the trail is loose rock material making traversing down a little bit challenging. Good trail overall, measured from parking lot to peak it's 11.5km not 9
