"Mount Seymour hike with Jen and John on a brisk and sunny Sunday, with autumn foliage in full blaze. Did the hike as a loop - outward via Brockton, Pump Peak, Tim Jones Peak to Mount Seymour, then back via Mystery Lake. A bit of haze over the city, but beautiful 360 views nonetheless - Mt Baker and the North Cascades; Eagle Mountain and beyond; Mt Elsay, Runner Peak, Coliseum and Brunswick, Cathedral, and and and (wish I could
name them all). My second hike to
Pump Peak this year.

"With Steve on an overcast day. We got an early start to get to the summit before the crowds. Snow was continuous at about the 3950 foot mark. The was great overlooking Howe Sound " — andrewbrintnell1 • Jun 24, 2023

"Quite a long walk in from my uncles place, grouse grind was closed. Took the BCMC trail up, at the end of the trail i discoverd the access to the summit was blocked by building contractors so I had to turn back a few hundred meters short. :(" — Toastinski • May 9, 2023

"Went up with a friend for the day. Beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. Made it to the ridge in 2.5 hours. Left my friend there since he wasn’t comfortable going up the last part. Went up for a quick view at the summit, then back down to join my friend for lunch on the ridge. Great views as always on a sunny day. Back down to the car in 2 hours. " — PabloBruneau • Sep 4, 2020

"5 hours and 10 minutes
Overnight with 40 lb pack and brittney. No camp stove.
From parking lot left at 7:30 with lots of breathers on the way up. Hardest hike yet.
Got to emergency shelter at 12:40.
Only 3 tent pads left when arrived at top and soon filled up after. Cold at the top. Rained on our way up but cleared. Can be some nasty winds. A guy last night had his tent ripped apart to pieces and lost his fly. So emergency shelter it was. And there’s a bathroom on the emergency shelter. Running waterfall right here is beautiful. Pats cord to tie down tent to tent pad.
Hike down 4 hours " — kaylagrimard • Jul 29, 2020
