I've only taken the Alistair Ross trail which is an acceptable trail partly through private lot, which is located 1km before the above route. Easily reached with a 40-50 mins (one way) at a strong pace walk up hill on open trails (no climbing) all the trail is well marked. If you take Alistair Ross trail from the road well marked but two spots, when the trail meets the old service road head up hill for a few turns and when you reach the fork take left trail straight ahead, it's all makes there with small metal arrows. On the trail 3/4 of the way up there's left over parts from a small plane crash that appears to be very old.

Well marked trails, easy paths, a babbling creek, waterfalls, bridges and huge, red cedars make this a little sanctuary. And the canopied woods means even if it's raining, you're protected. There's a few "viewpoints" with benches and in the hour that I was "lost" in the woods, I didn't see a soul. Although I should warn, the bear sighting signs didn't sit well with me. I should have brought my dog spray and my whistle. Then I could show them who's boss! There's lots of parking, an outhouse (just jump over to the golf course) and a big map that tells you where you are. If you're staying in Roberts Creek, I'd suggest just walking. It's only another 10 minutes and the trails aren't that long.

Oof, what a hike! I went to the Summit and back from the north parking lot, so about 2km each…read moredirection. There is not an elevation profile of the trail on the trailhead map which seems a shortcoming here. I'm not sure if this one is typical of BC or not but it surprised me how much straight up and straight down was on this trail. I'm used to a lot more switchbacks in Colorado. The uphill was tough but manageable, though not many people yielded as they were coming down. On the way down I figured out why. This trail is BRUTAL on the downhill. There's so much constant down that knees and quads are working constantly and the muscle fatigue around the halfway point was alarming. I wish I'd had hiking poles. Yeah, your experience will vary wildly depending on your personal level of ability. Stay within your limits and keep in mind that down is every bit as tough as up, if not more so, depending on how creaky your joints are. The area is beautiful and the mud was very manageable after a few days of dry weather. Make sure to walk through the mud - there were many areas where people had tramped a lot of vegetation around mud. There were many tracks of mountain bikers using the trail even though they are not supposed to be on the summit trail, so stay aware and able to bail off in an encounter.

The next 1/3 of the trail was the uphill slopes. Great trail, mostly clear of fallen trees. Pleasant workout. The last part was steep with beautiful rocks and few trees. The summit offers stunning views of Rosario Strait. It's easy to hear the bald eagles' call. They also soared overhead. It took us an hour to reach the summit from Eagle Harbor, so this is very doable. Next time I'll wear hiking boots--it was more challenging in running shoes. The views at the summit are worth the sweaty work to get there.
