Description

Embark on a guided snowshoeing adventure in Mount Seymour Provincial Park. Take in the stunning winter scenery, learn about the local wildlife, and enjoy a hot drink and snack at the summit. Start at the main trailhead of Mount Seymour Provincial Park, where your guide will ensure everyone is equipped for the winter conditions. This includes checking snowshoes or microspikes, trekking poles, and warm, layered clothing. Begin with a walk through snow-laden evergreens that create a magical winter wonderland atmosphere. Take a steady pace on the snow-covered trails, feeling the crunch beneath your feet as you move through the forest. Winter animal tracks often dot the snow here, giving you clues to the local wildlife moving through the woods. As you approach Dog Mountain, one of the best early-viewpoints, pause to enjoy an open panorama of the snow-covered North Shore, Vancouver, and Howe Sound below. On a clear day, you can even see all the way to Vancouver Island. This is a great spot for a hot drink or snack, and take a moment to snap some winter photos against the backdrop of frozen landscapes. Continue up the trail, where winter conditions create a few unique challenges, such as icy patches, drifted snow, and uneven surfaces. With microspikes or snowshoes on, carefully traverse these sections, allowing time to adapt to the extra equipment. Guide everyone on proper snowshoeing techniques to conserve energy and stay stable, especially on steeper sections. Stop at the First Pump Peak for expansive views, made even more striking with snow and ice. The snowy trees, wind-sculpted drifts, and the deep blues of the winter sky create an unforgettable scene. For those ready for a bigger challenge, continue to the Second Pump. The ascent becomes steeper here, with some thrilling open sections and incredible views of the nearby mountains and valleys.
