Get ready for a classic Bowen Island adventure at the Mount Gardner Trail Head. This hike is a local favorite, offering some of the most rewarding panoramic views of Howe Sound, the Sunshine Coast, and even back towards Vancouver. The trail itself winds through a beautiful coastal forest with some steep, heart-pumping sections to conquer. Be aware that there are several routes to the top and signage can be a bit tricky, so it's wise to have a map handy. The round trip is about 10km and typically takes 4-6 hours, so pack plenty of water and snacks for your journey to the summit.
