WIlliams Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Williams Ridge Trail starts steep, stays steep, and gets even steeper at the end. There's a bit of reprieve once you gain the ridgeline, but the rocky terrain keeps you on your toes literally and figuratively as you pick your way around, over, and through the boulders. Due to the difficulty level, lack of water, and route finding skills needed on this hike it is not recommended for beginners, but those with the proper skills and equipment will be rewarded with stunning views across the Fraser Valley and surrounding mountains.

Williams Peak viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Shortly after reaching the ridgeline by a very steep hike up from the valley floor you'll pass by a few small clearings with excellent views of Williams Peak and other mountains. You'll definitely be ready for a rest to let your legs and lungs recover while you enjoy the mountain vistas.
