The view point from the Coquitlam lake look out is definitely in my top 5! Stopped at a water fall on the way down it's much nicer to look at then crystal falls!
The terrain is pretty easy going until you get to the new path to the view point. Gets almost vertical, would be nice if they had a rope there to aid with scrambling.
The trail we did was about 12km round trip parking at the gun range. Took just over 2 hours round Trip, with breaks and stopping at the view point Definitely recommend this to anyone! We also took our dog up there, great to get out.
Trails are well marked and maintained, in my opinion, despite some reviews to the contrary. There are many trails (great for mountain biking!) and some of the trails are steep 'intermediate' level trails. Plan accordingly and familiarize yourself with your map if its your first time :)
Amazing park just minutes from a busy area you are In the middle of the outdoors
The waterfall hike is very pleasant. Watch out for bears.
Large outdoor area, with many trails to explore. Don’t underestimate nature, it’s a vast area with many ways to go and beautiful sights to see. It’s not busy or well marked. Familiarize yourself with the area prior/ look up up to date maps.
