Just want to give some direction on where the trail starts from Deep Cove.
Park at or near Panorama park. Go down to the dock, locate the washroom/shelter area. Walk towards north (left of shelter) on asphalt until you cross the street. Pay attention on the small sign that says "Baden Powell Trail" next to a residential house (see pic). Walk through it and you should see a staircase that is the start of the trail.
I consider this part of the hike to be easy/medium difficulty. The view at Quarry Rock is amazing. -

If your looking for a easy to medium level hike this is it. I have done it twice now and it's awesome. It's a great light workout and you can really challenge yourself if you go go past Quarry point. I find Gross crowded with tourists and too "man mad" this is just perfect. It's like the chief but without the length and pressure on the knees.
Happy hiking.. time to rest my poor legs after today's hike. -

This trail is about 50 kms long through the North Shore mountains. The trail starts where Highway 99 (Sea-To-Sky) and Highway 1 diverge on the west, and on the East end, the trail starts in Panorama Park north from the heart of Deep Cove.
I have done the East end of this trail, heading to the top of Quarry Rock in Deep Cove. There's parking lots and street parking, but on the weekends it could be limited.
This is a relatively easy hike, there are stairways and bridges for easy access. It's about a 20 minute hike up, and then you are at the top of Quarry Rock! It's quite a beautiful sight, overlooking Deep Cove. After that, you can continue on the trail, which will eventually lead you to the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge as well.
For a relaxing hike, this is the place to come. Go for a picnic in Panorama Park afterwards, visit the shops, or even go kayaking or canoeing in Deep Cove. You will not be disappointed!
