Description |
We will drop off some vehicles at the Nugedzi Lakes parking lot, then head on to the departure point on Granite Bay Road to hike up to Mount Seymour from that access point. The trail is a steady climb up for about 620 m to a 360 degree view point from the highest point on Quadra Island. We will then descend via Nugedzi Lakes, through some lovely forest and back to where the shuttle vehicles were parked. Then a bit of vehicle shuffling, and we will return to the HB Store by about 4 pm. Bring lots of water, a lunch and snacks. Hiking poles may be a good idea. We will be grateful to those who offer vehicles for the shuttle to accommodate the loop trip. |

Notes: |
We would like to make this a loop trip – leaving from the Granite Bay Road access point and returning via the Nugedzi Lakes trail. This will entail a bit of car shuffling, and a bit longer day to accommodate this, but should make for a more rewarding hike. |
