My first real Canadian adventure was the hike to Black Mountain and Cabin Lake. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 11 min to complete and it’s 5km long. This is a very popular area for hiking and running, so there was not a change to get lost. We started our hike from the Cypress Mountain Ski Resort in West Vancouver. The trail to Black Mountain follows the Baden Powell Trail and is located in the Cypress Provinial Park. The trail is well defined and easy to follow as the Baden Powell is marked with unique markers on the trees with the letters "BP". It is a relatively short, steep hike with scenic views of the area.
We ate some sandwiches with lots of meat at the Cabin Lake. Even though it was a cold and moody day, we decided to take a swim in the lake. Honestly, it was an amazing and unforgettable experience.
The trail passes through a series of switchbacks, then climbs up some rocky steps next to a ski run, before passing a small pond and contuing. The trail eventually reaches a junction with a wooden sign. Go right and walk a short distance, continuing along the wooden boardwalks and to the right where Cabin Lake is located. The beautiful lake is calm as the surrounding scenery and sunlight reflect off of it.
Before leaving the Cabin Lake area, it's worth hiking up to the Yew Lake Lookout as it has the best view in the area. The Yew Lake Lookout, also known as the north peak of Black Mountain, follows a trail located about 10 metres back along the wooden boardwalks in the direction you walked from.
-------------------------
Black Mountain, located within Cypress Provincial Park in West Vancouver, British Columbia, offers hikers a rewarding experience with its scenic trails and alpine lakes. A popular route is the Black Mountain and Cabin Lake Loop, a 6-kilometre trail that takes approximately 3.5 hours to complete.
The hike begins near the chairlifts of Cypress Mountain Resort, following the Baden Powell Trail. The trail has a very steep uphill section for the first 45 to 60 minutes. Be prepared, the hike can be exhausting, especially if you are not in good shape.
The ascent to the summit provides a rewarding experience, showcasing the natural beauty of the region.
The trail ascends through sub-alpine meadows and forests, leading to several mountain lakes, including Cabin Lake.
The Cabin Lake is a premier swimming spot on the North Shore. Known for its clear waters and serene alpine setting, it offers a refreshing retreat during the warmer months. It attracts visitors seeking a natural alpine swimming experience.
The summit of Black Mountain offers vistas of Howe Sound and Greater Vancouver on clear days. From the peak, visitors can gaze upon the expansive waters of Howe Sound, dotted with islands and framed by coastal mountains. The vantage point offers a unique perspective of this fjord, highlighting its serene and majestic landscape.
Embarking on the Black Mountain and Cabin Lake trail provides a fulfilling adventure, showcasing the natural beauty of Cypress Mountain's alpine environment.
