Hope Lookout Trail
Table of contents
The Hope Lookout Trail is a physically demanding, short hiking route just south of Hope that climbs up the steep lower slopes of Hope Mountain to provide an awesome view over the city. This quick 3.7 km out-and-back hike is a leg burner, but the views from the vantage point are certainly worth the effort. From the lookout you will have a great sightline of the rugged mountains that surround the Fraser River as it cuts through the valley.
Route Description for Hope Lookout Trail
The Hope Lookout Trail may be short, but with a steep uphill climb of 466 m over the 3.7 km of trail, it is certainly a grind that will get your heartrate up.

The views from atop this tough trail are definitely worth the effort.
