Hike: RT: 1.25; 30 minutes up. Following my ascent of the first and second peaks of Mount Seymour, I returned to the parking lot with spare time. I decided to go on this short stroll to visit the lookout. This well-marked trail has minimal height gain; nearly anyone can hike it easily. If you are looking for solitude, this objective isn't for you! Given my later start, the trail was already busy. I hushed past people in the deep, narrow snow trench. Although most casual hikers yielded, some appeared annoyed about my haste. Honestly, other than the snow-covered lake along the way, there wasn't much to see until the lookout. When I reached the viewpoint, the challenge was taking pictures without having strangers stand in the way. I still enjoyed my brief visit and the view of Vancouver.
