"Great timing this weekend. A SUP in the beautiful warm sun on Saturday morning...and squeaked in Mt Burke on Sunday starting in a little gloomy rain and ending in some but almost blue at summit and great views and no one around. 3h return 10km 900m gain. Highly recommended." — alexjoseph • May 31, 2020
"Fantastic outing. Definitely still a fair bit of snow left when I did it. But the views up here are outstanding. It was a little tricky finding the initial trail out of the creekbed. I ended up going too far down the creek bed and bushwhacked a little bit uphill to the left and caught up with the trail. The actual entrance to the trail up is much sooner than where I entered lol.

"We were lured to do Mt Burke after seeing acebook trip reports from the past week with no snow, and easy ridge traverse. The consditions had changed drastically in one week. We did the loop counter-clockwise. The ascent to the N summit involves bushwacking. We started with boot-top snow, which quickly became knee-deep, and the last ~100 both side of tree line (where you hit the ridge proper) had waist-deep wading. It took us 4.5 hours to the N summit. The ridge was in winter consitions, with lots of knee-deep snow. Had a bit of concern going down the N summit in terms of avalanche. Lots of the ridge walking was easy, but constantly poking because of cornices. there were really just two more difficult spots, where an ice axe was welcome. A slip there would not have been good. From the summit, it was an easy descent, especially given a group of 9 had been up to the main summit. We took the direct descent.
Overal a fun day, that was longer/harder than anticipated. I would say right in those conditions, the ridge was not a scramble, rather easy mountaineering." — apfelstrudel • Mar 30, 2019
"Last minute change of plans because of weather forecast. Camped at Cataract creek and hiked up to the fire lookout in the morning with Steph. Weather was nice the clouds blocked the hot sun but not the views." — Randy • Jul 23, 2018
"This was a friend's birthday celebration place with chocolate fondu and music. This was my second time up here and both times it was wicked windy! Is it ever not windy up here?" — makingwaves • Oct 10, 2010
