Directions

Follow Highway 99 (Sea-to-Sky) a short distance north of Squamish to Squamish Valley Road, directly across from Alice Lake Provincial Park. Turn left on Squamish Valley Road and reset your odometer, following it for 26.5 km. It should be noted that kilometer markers along the route vary wildly and for the most part cannot be trusted - use your car's odometer instead.

Eventually the road will turn to gravel and become Squamish River Forest Service Road. At the 23.7 km mark, watch for a large bridge on the left and an Ashlu Valley recreation sign. Reset your odometer again and turn left, driving over the bridge. After 500 meters continue straight over another bridge and ignore all side roads until you reach a construction checkpoint at 1.6 km for the Ashlu hydroelectric project. Sign-in if necessary, then continue over two more small bridges at 2.1 km and 2.2 km respectively.

Immediately after the second bridge, the road curves sharpy to the right. Park safely to the side of the road immediately after the corner, across from an extremely rough road on the left marked with a trail sign. Tough 4x4 vehicles might be able to drive up the road a little closer to the trailhead, but most people continue on foot.

Details

Statistics are from the start of the Sigurd Creek Trail.

The begining of this trail is the Sigurd Creek Trail. The Sigurd Peak trail is marked by a yellow sign about 100m above the first lookout on the Sigurd Creek Trail (the "Randy Stoltman Bench"). The trail branches off to the right, just as the Sigurd Creek Trail begins to level off again after the steep climb immediately following the first viewpoint.

The trail is very well defined and well marked for a considerable distance after it branches from the main trail. It rises steeply until it enters an old mossy boulder field. At this point the trail becomes harder to follow; the footbed is less distinct, but there are still lots of orange markers and flagging. In the boulder field the trail trends left, and the trail starts to work its way west rather than straight up. Once in the alpine the route is obvious.
