Trail description

From the hiker parking on Sunset Drive in Lions Bay an old logging road and then a relentlessly steep trail climb about 1,550 m to the summit of Brunswick Mountain (1,788 m), the highest peak of the North Shore mountains, with views over Howe Sound and the Lions. The last part is an exposed scramble on a narrow rocky ridge; parking in Lions Bay is paid and fills early.
