Hiking Club
Exploring the beauty of creation, together.
Black Mountain & Eagle Bluffs Hiking Club
Join us for a crisp fall-to-winter transition hike to Eagle Bluffs, a moderate 8 km out-and-back trail with 437 m elevation gain in Cypress Provincial Park. The route starts with a steep climb up wooden stairs beside the ski runs, then winds through beautiful subalpine forest past Cabin and Yew Lakes before arriving at the panoramic Eagle Bluff viewpoint. From here, you’ll get incredible views of Lighthouse Park, Horseshoe Bay, and even Point Grey on a clear day.
By early November, winter conditions are likely — the area can receive early snowfall, and the trail may be icy or snow-covered. Please come prepared for cold weather, and bring microspikes or crampons, and snowshoes if there has been significant snow. Layers, gloves, and a thermos of something warm are highly recommended!
We’ll meet at Cypress Creek Lodge (near the main ski resort parking lot), where there are washrooms and a warming area before we hit the trail.
After the hike, we’ll head into town for a warm bowl of ramen to refuel and shake off the mountain chill — optional but you know you want to.
Lindeman Lake Hiking Club
Join us for a crisp fall morning hike to Lindeman Lake — one of the Lower Mainland’s most scenic short hikes. This moderate 3.4 km out-and-back trail features a steady incline with rocky sections and roots underfoot, but it’s manageable for most hikers and an excellent introduction to mountain trails.
In October, the trail comes alive with the colours of autumn. The lake itself is a breathtaking turquoise hue, framed by rugged peaks and glowing foliage — it’s a perfect payoff for a relatively short effort. This is a great option if you're looking for a satisfying half-day adventure with a high reward-to-effort ratio.
No day pass is needed, and parking (Lindeman Lake Parking Lot) is free. Come with water, peanut-free snacks, good shoes, and layers for the cooler weather. All are welcome — we hike rain or shine!
Tunnel Bluffs from Lions Bay
The next hike will be this Saturday, April 5th when we will be hiking to Tunnel Bluffs from Lion’s Bay. Once you arrive at the trailhead, we will meet at the gate pictured below. This hike is Moderate, with an elevation of 533M over 11.3 kilometers, and will take around 4 hours to complete, with time enjoying the view not included.
We will arrive at Sunset Trailhead at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 5th. There is not much parking and it is paid at the trailhead, so carpool with a friend or let me know if you need a ride. Please dress appropriately, as all hikes are Raincouver or shine.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, need a ride, or have any other concerns. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at the hike. For regular updates and to connect with other members, consider joining our messenger group chat.
Tunnel Bluffs starting point, meet here at 10:00am.
