LENGTH/TIME: 2km/30mins
HIGHLIGHTS: Panoramic views of Sechelt Inlet and the Strait of Georgia from the summit. An ancient yellow cedar stump, aged at 1736 years is in the area.
ACCESS:
Take Hwy 101, 11km north of Sechelt. At the bottom of the long downhill stretch just before Halfmoon Bay, turn right onto Trout Lake Road. Proceed up this logging road and at the main junction at kilometer 12, keep right. After approximately 3km, you’ll pass a spur road on the left, which leads to Lyon Lake. Pass this turn off and continue a few more meters to the steep spur on the right, which leads to Caren Peak. This spur is passable with four wheel drive. The steep spur flattens out after 100m and proceeds to the east side of the Caren Range. From the end of the spur, take a skid road off to the left that leads through a clear-cut to the summit.
TERRAIN: A summit trail to the highest point of the Caren Range and the Sechelt Peninsula at 1259m (4130ft.)
