Route Description for Hunter Trail
The Hunter Trail is a moderate hiking route just north of Mission, BC that climbs up an old logging road to provide some amazing views overlooking Stave Lake. Note that the parking area is just a small emergency turnaround area, so only a few cars can safely park here at a time. We recommend arriving early to secure a parking spot.
The trail has a moderate elevation gain of 324 m that is stretched over the length of the route, creating a slow burn as you gradually work your way up through the forest. The first incline push is the most intense, so persevere and you’ll be rewarded. Keep left at all forks.
Reaching the viewpoint, hikers will have spectacular views of Stave Lake with a multitude of rugged mountains in the backdrop, including the majestic Mount Robie Reid. This is an awesome route for both casual and experienced hikers, with little required effort and amazing views. While descending, keep generally right.
