Hope Mountain Trail
Difficulty Rating:
The Hope Mountain Trail climbs steeply uphill along a mixture of forest service road and dirt-packed trail to reach the summit of Hope Mountain. This 14.8mi out-and-back route is lightly travelled due to the difficulty involved in reaching the trailhead, but the views from the peak are absolutely stunning. On a clear day, hikers can expect a breathtaking sightline that stretches across the Fraser Valley and down south into the United States.

Hope Mountain Trail Description
The Hope Mountain Trail is a challenging out-and-back hiking route near Hope, BC that takes hikers up to an amazing viewpoint overlooking the Fraser Valley. This 14.8mi trail climbs uphill along a forest service road before turning west for the steep ascent to the peak.
