Description:

Last year my roommates and I did Mt. Gardner as an end-of-exams celebratory hike and I am hoping to do the same this year! It offers I think the most spectacular panoramic view of Vancouver. The hike itself is a ~16 km loop with 810m of elevation. Horseshoe Bay is accessible via transit and we could resort to this if there are no drivers available, but I am hoping to get a driver or two!

 

I’d allocate the entire day for the trip, expecting to return to Vancouver around 7-8pm. It is listed as intermediate but some previous day hiking experience should be sufficient. More info: https://www.vancouvertrails.com/trails/mount-gardner/

 

The plan:

 

Drive/ Transit to Horseshoe Bay

 

Catch the 10:15am ferry to Bowen Island

 

Hike Mt. Gardner

 

Catch the 4:35pm or 5:45pm ferry back

 

Note: The ferry ride costs $13.70 and will cover both ways

 

If you have any questions about its feasibility please reach out!
