Enchanting Majesty: Brunswick Mountain, Vancouver’s North Shore Jewel

 

Embarking on this adventure requires a bit of preparation, as the journey is nothing short of challenging. Nestled in the heart of the North Shore, getting to Brunswick Mountain is a bit of a trek in itself. From Vancouver, you’ll want to head north towards BC-99 N and BC-1 W, following signs for Horseshoe Bay. Take Exit 2, and from there, the adventure truly begins.

The trailhead is accessible via the Sunset Trail, a bit past the quaint community of Lions Bay. For more detailed instruction visit Altrails

Parking is available at the base, but it tends to fill up quickly during the hiking season, so an early start is beneficial. The path is well-marked, but don’t underestimate this hike; sturdy hiking boots are a must, and be prepared for a sustained elevated terrain that will test your endurance like never before.

A word of caution to my fellow hikers – be vigilant of falling rocks, especially when navigating through the rocky patches. This trail demands your respect and attention at every step.
