HERUNTERLADEN

ANFAHRTSBESCHREIBUNG: Take the Mt Seymour Parkway Exit from Hwy 1 in North Vancouver, at the north end of the second narrows bridge. Continue straight onto Lillooet Road for about 5 km. The road ends at the Rice Lake Gate and its parking lot. You are in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve.create

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: This trail is usually done as a bike/hike. There is about 2.8km bike ride to get to the trailhead. You have two options. The second option is the best one.
1- Seymour Valley Trailway: Bike to the end of the paved road (10Km) and cross Seymour River (bring sandals) at Dear Creek Bridge. On the other side, there is a short trail which takes you up to the Eastside Seymour Mainline, where you turn left. Seymour River can be high and not passable.
2- East Seymour Mainline: Bike along Seymour Valley Trailway and turn right on Hydraulic Connector (at about 5.2Km), cross Spur 4 Bridge over Seymour River, and then turn left into East Seymour. The trailhead is at about 12.4Km marker and is marked well. East Seymour Mainline is an unpaved road but it is in good condition exepct a small section in the middle.

The trail proper is about 3.5km from the road to the summit.

A few minutes from the trailhead, don't miss on the General and the General's Wife, two giant cedar trees. The trail is steep and bushy but well marked and there are several fixed ropes along the way. The trail eventually levels and goes through 3 different pounds and Vicar Lake from which Mt Bishop is in view. Lots of blueberries.... Contour Vicar Lake on the left (North side) to find the trail going to Mt Bishop. There is a marker and the trail is well flagged. It goes up the northwest ridge leading to Mt Bishop, and follows it to a small basin from which the summit is visible. Continue straight up towards the summit northwest face. At the small boulder field, ignore the cairns and red arrow turning left (it follows the Indian arm trail). Instead, continue up the boulders towards the summit. The last 50m involves a little bit of scrambling, but it is easy find a way on good rocks. Return the way you came.create
