Mount Outram

This is a gorgeous hike in Manning Park. To get here, drive 26km east of Hope and park at the paved parking lot with the marmot sign.
The hike is 18 km return, about 20% grade, with an elevation gain of 1791 metres (max elevation: 2461 m) The first 3 hours or so you are switchbacking in dense forest, but once you get out into the alpine forest/meadows, the views are fantastic with an unobstructed 360 degree view at the peak! Easily one of my favorite hikes! I'll have to try it again when the snow melts and the wildflowers are in bloom!
