Directions
Shortly after Pender Harbour, turn left on the well-signed Garden Bay road. Travel for about 3 km, ignoring Oyster Bay road on the left, until you see a small gravel road heading up to the left. There is a sign here describing the hike. You can park here, or head a bit further up the road (saving 25m vertical) to another small parking area. If you drive up the road a bit, turn left at the junction.
Details
This is a straight forwards up-and-down hike. There are no views to speak of until the top. The grade is steady but not too bad. It seems to follow an old logging grade for the lower part. Lots of moss around, and a nice quiet hike. At the top, there are at least 2 good viewpoint areas.
