Pump Peak, also known as First Peak (of Mount Seymour’s 3 peaks), is a very popular hike on Mount Seymour, particularly in the winter but also during the summer. As a winter objective this is a fantastic hike set in a beautiful snowy landscape, but the summer also offers pretty spectacular views for a relatively modest effort. That being said, if I had to pick one season to hike Pump Peak I would suggest doing this hike when snow is on the ground as it makes the footing, and sights, far more appealing. Luckily snow is on the ground half the year, so this shouldn’t be hard.

Pump Peak is very similar in distance and elevation gain to Hollyburn Peak on Cypress Mountain, and both of these hikes make better experiences in the winter than summer. With that, though, comes the crowds. Pump Peak is one of the most popular winter options near Vancouver as it is a very accessible hike, it’s not that difficult and the winter scenery is breathtaking.

From the summit of Pump Peak you get incredible views of Vancouver, Dog Mountain, Suicide Bluffs, Mount Baker, Cathedral Mountain, Coliseum Mountain, Mount Burwell, the Indian Arm and much, much more.

There is a possibility of doing the second peak.
