Eagle Bluffs via Black Mountain Trail: Intermediate

This is a moderate hike that with great views. After an initial steep climb alongside the ski slopes of Cypress Mountain Resort, this hike continues to subalpine lakes and along ridges to Eagle Bluff. There, it overlooks Lighthouse Park, Horseshoe Bay, and Point Grey. There is fresh water available near the trailhead, but not along the route. If this hike is late enough in the hiking season, there is a chance you will be able to see the cute Chipmunks.
