Detailed Description

Starts near the Mystery Peak chairlift and goes to the top of Mount Seymour. This trail is the obvious trail on the left that usually has a sign. The trail has a eroded a lot since it was built so watch your step especially going down. After about 2 km the trail gets to a newer section and the left fork is closed since BC Parks hasn’t finished the new route to bypass the ski run. When you get to the ski run you have to head up the road for about 200 m to the left fork that goes to Brockton Lookout and the peaks. You don’t have to go all the way to the third peak, the view from Brockton Lookout (about 1 hour up) is really great. From Brockton, you have to head down a bit and follow the trail on the east side of the ridge. The trail then forks left and heads steeply up a gully between First (Pump) Peak and Tim Jones Peak (second). The trail to the actual third peak is more of a scramble but not hard in the summer. Coming down from near the top of the Mystery Peak it is easier to take the road on the ski run if it is open since the lower trail is so eroded.
