Mount Hankin Bluffs Loop Trail

Route Description for Mount Hankin Bluffs Loop Trail

Hiking the Mount Hankin Bluffs Loop is a fantastic experience if you enjoy hikes through the forest and breathtaking vistas overlooking picturesque bodies of water. Setting out from the roadside parking area, head south through the dense cover of the forest before traversing a section of recently forested terrain. Here, you will descend the hillside towards the water and experience some beautiful views, walking along the edge of the water until you arrive at South Camp Beach. At this point, you will climb up the steep hillside to eventually reach the viewpoint atop the bluffs. While taking in the stunning views overlooking the Alberni Inlet and surrounding forests, maybe stop for a quick picnic lunch with spectacular views. After spending some time on the bluffs, follow the trail to the northeast until you cross over Follinsbee Creek, following it to the west to descend the hillside on the return leg of the journey back to the parking area.
