Trail Description
Once considered the Upper Shannon Falls trail, the Sea to Summit now extends significantly farther up the mountain, ultimately ending at the recently built Sea to Sky Gondola summit lodge.
The Sea to Summit trail starts between the Sea to Sky Gondola and Shannon Waterfall parking lots. Follow the very visible and frequent trail markers labelled 1 through 400. The first 68 markers follow the very steep, Grouse Grind comparable Stawamus Chief trail before branching off to the right.
Once on the Sea to Summit trail, the terrain varies from vertical rope-assisted rock climbing, dense forest, exposed bush areas and gravel service road. While briefly challenging at times, overall the trail offers a decent balance of environments and is fairly pleasant.
Once on the top, you can purchase a download ticket on the Sea to Sky Gondola ($15 per ticket as of Summer 2018)

The viewpoint is unmarked. Right after you re-enter the forest following the clearing under the Gondola, look for a large boulder on the right and climb up.
