Harrison Trail + Hot Springs+ Beach Time Harrison Grind Lookout via Campbell LK
Details
About the hike
Set out on a rugged forest trail nestled near Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia. Known for its challenging nature, this route offers a mix of rugged terrain and technical sections, making it a rewarding option for experienced hikers. While the trail is quite popular, it’s still possible to find quieter moments, especially outside peak hours. Open all year, it’s a beautiful spot to visit no matter the season.
Expect a demanding hike that includes a variety of terrain—from rocky stretches and dry, steep creek beds to overgrown areas. There are several fallen trees to navigate, which are manageable on the ascent but a bit more tricky on the way down, adding to the time and challenge.
One of the highlights is a stunning moss-covered boulder field with cave-like formations worth exploring. A short section along a forest service road provides a bit of a breather. Near the lake, the bugs can be noticeable, but continuing beyond it rewards you with breathtaking views.
Post Plan
After the hike, we’ll unwind at the public mineral pool (entry is $9) to relax our muscles, followed by some time at the beach to enjoy lunch or snacks together. A perfect way to end a challenging and scenic adventure!
Before RSVPing, please take a moment to carefully read the hike description and make sure you’re committed to showing up.
