Location not specified yetTunnel Bluff – Moderately challenging hike
Details
Check out this 7.4-km out-and-back trail near Lions Bay, British Columbia. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 3 h 42 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking and running, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are March through October. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. The Tunnel Point parking lot may have parking restrictions, so arrive early at the Lions Bay School, our meeting point.For a better parking option, see the option from Lions Bay: Lions By School located at Address: 250 Bayview Rd, Lions Bay, BC V0N 2E0
Please be at this free parking spot early to ensure securing a spot.
For this route, plan to have someone drop you off at the trailhead. The first section follows a rocky service road with sharp elevation gain. Once the incline levels out, the second section of the hike to tunnel bluffs is pleasant, through a wide swath of forest, over two log bridges, and then the final stretch to the viewpoint. Tunnel Bluffs overlook offers a great panoramic sight of Bowen Island and the Howe Sound all the way to Horseshoe Bay and Vancouver Island. The trail is well-marked.Difficulty, Distance, and Elevation:
