SLHANAY PEAK Hike: Unique and Incredible Views of THE CHIEF in Squamish
The Slhanay Peak Trail is a terrific hike in Squamish.
The main draw to the Slhanay Peak hike is the incredible and unique views it provides of The Stawamus Chief. Part of the trail sits within Stawamus Chief Provincial Park itself.
A nice thing about this hike is that it draws a much smaller crowd than other nearby trails. You’ll be able to enjoy the viewpoints with fewer fellow hikers, especially compared to the very popular Chief Trail.
*Note: In the video I incorrectly state the net elevation gain as 450 m. The net elevation gain is closer to 625 m.

LYNN PEAK: A Great Hike in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park
Could you do this trail on a mountain bike?
No, unfortunately bikes are not allowed on the trails within Lynn Headwaters Park (metrovancouver.org/services/regional-parks/park/lynn-headwaters-regional-park)
Great video, i was wondering if you would recommend hiking poles, or would it be perfectly doable without?
You don't need poles. I think they're always a personal preference. Thanks for the comment!
The Magnificent Trail
Naomie Path
I love that waterfall. It looks so tropical there!
Is this Capilano Canyon loop via Rabbit Lane trail?
We have a map of the specific loop we did here: www.outdoorvancouver.ca/capilano-river-park-hike/
If you keep going up, you can hit Gordon Lake and summit Capilano Mountain. I did it a couple years ago as an overnight hike, and summited Capilano Mountain for sunrise. One of the best hikes I've done in the region but it's a serious workout, especially with an overnight pack! I slpt at a tarn near Gordon Lake.
Yes, I would love to get up to the summit of Cap. I've never been. Great to hear your feedback on the hike to the summit. Thanks for the comment!
McFarlane was my hardest, most meaningful hike ever done in BC. The different terrain, the long and hard journey made the whole experience much more memorable. The last scramble to the summit was the cherry on top - anyone who stops at Upper Pierce will not get the full experience! The christening in the glacier water after the hard work was such a payoff Gotta be careful with the parking though there's said to be a lot of vagrants looking to break in...
Agree on all points!
Hey awesome video, I just had one question did you need a permit to climb or no?
Nope, no permits needed!
I summited Evans Peak for the first time a month ago. The hike is intense at parts and I was fortunate to have clear skies at the summit. Great to see you posting regular videos. I am always surprised how few people have subscribed to your work. I subscribed at count 58 a few months ago.
Glad you had better views than me. Thanks for the comment and for subscribing!
Such a nice Vid! Simple and beautiful!
Thank you! I have been driving many times by Mundy park on my way to other parks but never thought of it as a place to hikeill definitely visit it! ❤️
Hope you enjoy it!

this video is good and I appreciate the candidness about the slog, mud pits and the other obstacles that slow the pace on this demanding backpack. Weather can play such an integral part either making or breaking the experience. I loved the "tale of two hikes". Well done.
Thanks for the comment - glad you enjoyed! Looking back on the video, it feels like I was maybe complaining too much haha, but it is certainly tough!
Think I'm going to try it today. If I get killed by a bear it's YOUR fault!
Its a difficult hike, and there may still be some snow - make sure you're prepared!

Hey guys, when did you do the hike? Thanks, Ann
Hi Ann, the video was originally from Aug 2021!
We’re PNWers too and have always wanted to do this hike. Thanks for the video. It really inspired us to get it together and hit that trail. Nicely done.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you end up doing the hike. Tough but worth it. Thanks for the comment!
Just keep that pack as light as you can. Trust me.
Looking good my friend! 1:50 is a amazing view. ❤❤❤

Great to see the videos reappearing - was worried when they all disappeared and the first ones to come back didn't feature Karl and you add so much to the videos. You won't remember, but we communicated via email during Covid as I work as an academic in a field related to your wife's profession. Anyway, we are back in Vancouver this summer and are looking forward to checking out a few of our favourite trails in the area and have this one earmarked for a quick evening stroll whilst we are in Squamish and hopefully the coffee shop in/around Smoke Bluffs stays open too 🙂
Thanks Andrew, I do recall exchanging some emails with you! Yes, I had to re-upload all the videos. I started from the oldest ones, which were recorded maybe ten years ago or more. They quality wasn't as good, and I never used to provide commentating on them. I have about 30 more videos to go and then they'll all be back online. Appreciate the comment! Hope you enjoy the summer and get some great hikes in!
Fantastic video. The views are awesome. Thanks for sharing. 👍1
