Description:

 

Cypress peak (not associated with Cypress Bowl ski resort) is a great day trip from Vancouver. Only few minutes of the trip are spent in the trees. The craggy peaks and glaciers that surronded the Squamish River Valley provide an excellent scenery.

This will be an easy, beginner friendly daytrip hike which is accessible by 2WD cars.

Elevation gain: 1415 m (if you have 2WD), 1200 m (if you have 4WD)

Ascent time: abt. 4 hr

Total time: abt. 7 hr

View from the Cypress Peak

To reach to the peak, there is a ridge with easy to moderate scrambling (see below) with little exposure. That section is very enjoyable.

Scrambling the ridge to the peak (only 30 min of the hike is scrambling on the ridge)
