Serpent’s Back Trail (aka Dragon’s Back or Kw’okw’echíwel Stl’áleqem) is a good description of a popular hike out of Hope, British Columbia.
- 4km return
- 424m elevation gain
Constant steep switchbacks through temperate rain forest. Mostly good footing.
Rest at a series of lookouts.
Detour at Stone Garden.
A good hike.
The gravel road to the official trailhead was pretty rough, so I parked below and walked up.
You know you are in the right place when you see this impressive sign.
Start of the trail.
About 6km past the trailhead, there’s a small campground.
