Lineham Ridge Trail Description
This trail leaves from the Lineham Provincial Recreation day-use area. There are a few different trails leaving from here, including the Lineham Twin Peaks route and the Serendipity Peak route. Make your way up the main trail from the parking area for 1.1mi before reaching a junction. Take the left trail for Lineham Ridge and begin gaining more elevation. The trail continues to rise and views grow as you make your way up the ridge. Top out high above Highway 40 and take in the panoramic views from the summit before returning to the trailhead.
