Lynn Headwaters: Mount Burwell - Difficulty: Hard

Details

Mount Burwell is a peak located in the backcountry of Lynn Headwaters Regional Park, right on the border of the Seymour Watershed, making for a great hike with some beautiful views.
The hike continues along from the popular Coliseum Mountain trail, however it’s far less busy as most hikers are content with stopping at the lower Coliseum Mountain. In fact, it could be argued Coliseum Mountain is merely a sub summit along the ridgeline of the higher Mount Burwell, and given the nominal effort to add Burwell, it will be included on this trip.

*Long steep ascent up boulders and loose rocks
