MAP & DIRECTIONS
DIRECTIONS: Same trailhead as the Lions, Brunswick, Harvey, etc. I took the C12 bus from Horseshoe Bay into Lions Bay.create
SUMMARY: Follow the popular Binkert trail towards the Lions, along the old logging road. Eventually, after passing the Mt. Harvey trailhead, there is the usual turnoff for the Lions. Pass this by and instead continue straight on the remains of the logging road, which is so overgrown and eroded it is usually not recognizable as a former road at all. Follow the trail and the frequent flagging as it traverses the south slopes of Mt. Harvey, through old logging cut blocks. Eventually the trail opens up to grand views of the West Lion, and tops out between Harvey Pass and David Peak. At this point there is a connector to the Howe Sound Crest Trail, marked by a metal sign nailed to a stump.create
