Description

Added by Kyle Frost

A short (and steep!) hike to a great view of Lillooet and the surrounding mountains.

The trail starts on a gravel road going up towards a water tower. A doubletrack trail takes off to the right and up the hill as you near the water tower. Take the this trail and this can be followed all the way up to the red rock view point. There are several, steeper, narrower trails branching off the doubletrack as you gain elevation that all head in the same general direction. Some of these are more direct, but definitely steeper.

Hike to Red Rock Lookout

07/09/22

Completed on a very hot day. No bear sightings but we did see a grouse hanging out part way through. There are a few shady spots for breaks closer to the top but do be prepared with sun screen and water. The view of the top is well worth it.

On highway 99 (Duffy Lake Road) just outside of Lillooet there is Seton Lake which is so very picturesque in its own way. It's turquoise coloured and surrounding it are cliffs and desert-like mountains. To get to the stunning view point there is a big pull out just before the last switch back on the road. Park there and across the road there is the start of a trail that has been walked on enou...

Hike Vantage Peak

This trip can be done as big day trip, or broken up over two days if you bring a tent. It makes for a great weekend trip from Vancouver. So good in fact Arc'teryx made a whole movie about it. Just beyond the ever popular Joffre Lakes turn off by about 20km is a unmarked extended shoulder, with a large line of old growth trees that end. If you get to the corner with the marvelous view of the Ann...
