    Hidden Grove is a network of walking trails in Sechelt, and combined with the trails in the Sechelt…read moreHeritage Forest, there are over 16km of trails running through 170 acres of forest. The trails are numbered and color coded, with signs and color markers at each trail junction, making it very easy to determine your location and find the next trail. There are numerous combinations of routes you can take, with each trail segment ranging from a one ten minute walk. (Oddly, the map posted online and at the entrance to Hidden Grove does not indicate the length of time it takes to walk each trail segment, but the paper maps available at the entrance do.) We went for a leisurely 45 minute walk, and while we only walked a fraction of the trails, all the trails were extremely easy and flat. There was only one brief segment marked as "steep", and even that wasn't too bad -- the elevation gain was minimal and only lasted a minute or so. The Hidden Grove trails are good for families and people with mobility issues. In fact, there are a couple of trails that are designated "accessibility trails", suitable for people in wheelchairs, and there are also benches throughout the trails. The trails are also dog-friendly. While not a hike, Hidden Grove was a lovely walk through a lush, green forest, and I hope I have the opportunity to go again and walk all the different trails. The trails are maintained by the Sechelt Groves Society, and extremely impressed with how well-maintained and marked the trails were, I made a donation. [Yelp collections: Hiking]

    One of the best views for intermediate hike! The beginning is very rocky and slippery when coming…read moredown but rest is beautiful forest trail. You can go via black mountain for view of the lions and stop by canine lake for a swim Value 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Service 4/5 Quality 4/5 18/29

    Rated as a moderately challenging hike I'd say Eagle Bluffs is a great hike if you want to start…read moretraining your body for other hikes at Cypress like St. Marks Summit. At an estimated elevation gain of over 400m it has a great effort to reward ratio. The first 2kms are always talked about because it's switchbacks that are just dirt and loose rock. I've done this hike a handful of times and i'm always blown away by how many people I see wearing sandals and jeans. Good on them for being able to do it, but I don't recommend it, especially the sandals. The switchbacks on the way down will kill your feet and knees. Also, as much as I love dogs, I'm an owner myself, I wouldn't bring mine with me on this hike. It's just too taxing on their body, especially if it's a hot day. I saw a poor shitzhu yesterday panting like crazy on the way up. The trail can also get very busy and having a dog on a leash can cause a bit of a traffic and also make parts of the hike harder for you. Logistics: - Parking is at Cypress Bowl. - Bathrooms can be found at the lodge at the parking lot - You don't need a pass this year. - You want to take the Black Mountain Trail (aka The Baden Powell). Not the Howe Sound Crest Trail; this will take you to Bowen Lookout, St. Marks Summit, and beyond.
