Description

Challenge yourself to one of the more difficult Vancouver hikes to the top of the Crown Mountain. This is a not an easy hike but the sense of accomplishment and the panoramic views of Vancouver will make it all worth it.

There are a few ways you can tackle this climb, but on this tour we’re going to go with the easiest. It wont be that easy though! We’ll cover around 10 km in up to seven hours, including uneven terrain and quite a few steep patches.

We’ll take the Alpine Trail until we reach the Goat Mountain and Goat Ridge junction, this section is steep. From the junction we’ll descend 250 m into Crown Pass, we’ll have to be careful here as it’s slippery! You’ll get a bit of respite as we cross a boulder valley, then it’ll be more uphill as we ascend the mountain. There will be some scrambling here too.

As you ascend you’ll get some cool views of the Hanes Valley. We’ll keep going up and get views of downtown Vancouver before arriving at the summit. There’s not much room up there as it’s super narrow. So, we’ll be careful as we take photos and enjoy the views.

At only around 30 minutes from Vancouver, this trip provides the perfect adventure escape. Reserve your spot now!

If you’re looking for awesome one-day hikes, you should also take a look at our one-day hike of Mount Temple.

Will was great wise and fun to spend the day with.

Phillip

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

Lucie

All perfect

Amanda

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
