About this Event

Join us for the scenic climb to Mockingbird Lookout!

Rated as a Short Intermediate hike, this 5.8 km round trip follows a forestry road and features a continuous, but manageable, 355m elevation gain. This is the perfect opportunity for your first intermediate hike, and is very achievable for determined beginners looking for a challenge.

Your effort is rewarded with unparalleled, expansive views of the Ghost area from the top!


Prepare for Adventure:

This location is rustic (unlike developed park trails). There are no designated parking lots or washroom facilities.

Expect cold and snow—please dress warmly in layers and wear appropriate footwear. I will supply traction aids or snow shoes if conditions require them.

Hiking time is variable depending on the group. There is always plenty of time for lunch, photos and discussion. The end time in Eventbrite is just an estimate.


What's Included & Important Details:

Your safety and enjoyment are my top priority! Your tour is led by an experienced and certified guide who ensures a safe, fun, and informative tour that deeply connects you to the area's natural and historical significance.


Safety & Gear
  • Your guide is equipped with bear safety information, bear spray, and a comprehensive first aid kit.
  • The tour strictly follows all park regulations, including Leave No Trace principles.
  • Sturdy footwear is mandatory. I strongly recommend dressing in layers to easily adapt to constantly changing weather conditions.
  • Your guide will keep us well clear of avalanche territory.

Essential Communication & Logistics
  • All important details including a complete supply list, directions and map to the trailhead, meet-up times, and further trail information will be provided via email 7 days before the hike.
  • The route is subject to change if the primary trail is closed. Rest assured, your guide has hiked the area before and knows the way.
  • Please ensure you provide a correct email address and phone number so we can stay in touch with these essential updates.

Policies
  • Emergency Policy: For your safety, we require up-to-date medical and emergency contact information for every hiker. This information is logged with a designated check-in person prior to the hike.
  • Refund Policy: Refunds or exchanges for your purchased hike will only be issued if requested up to 14 days prior to the hike date. No refunds or exchanges will be issued after this 14-day cutoff.
