Hike of the Month - Quarry Rock

 

I have awarded April's hike of the month - a pull from the archives before the days of social distancing - to Quarry Rock in Deep Cove, North Vancouver.  This relatively easy hike is part of the Baden Powell trail and took us a couple of hours to get to the lookout and back.

As you can see, it can get pretty busy.  For lower congestion, choose a weekday rather than a weekend.

The views are stunning and are well worth the drive to Deep Cove.  Parking is usually at a premium so be prepared for that.  After the hike we spent some leisurely time strolling through Deep Cove and enjoying the atmosphere of the town.
