Bye bye summer 2014...this summers last hike was Sea To Summit Trail!!!!! Starting from the base, the Sea to Summit Trail rises through the lower sections of the Stawamus Chief and Shannon Falls Provincial Park Trails and continues up what was once an inaccessible route through beautiful forest to the top of the Sea to Sky Gondola. Views of Howe Sound, Sky Pilot and the surrounding peaks abound throughout. A three to five hour intermediate hike climbing just over 900 metres, the Sea to Summit Trail is definitely a must do. Access is via the Basecamp parking lot near the bottom of the lift. Follow the marking to the Chief Trail and then turn right onto the Upper Shannon Falls Trail and continue up to the summit. Variations include finishing with the Wrinkle Rock Trail or the Shannon Basin Loop. Level of difficulty: Intermediate/Advanced. Some steep & challenging sections. Requires fixed rope lines to assist you. Not recommended for downhill travel. Distance: 9.8 km one way Estimated time: 3 - 5 hours Elevation Gain: 918 m
