Maple Mountain, Duncan

Blue/Pink Trail loop (Summit Route)

Park at the end of Maple Mountain Road and follow the blue trail markers under the powerlines. Veer left at the pink trail junction (marked in pink!) and climb up, up, up to the summit at 506m. This is a well-marked rough trail through the forest. From the summit, continue along the pink route, back down and around through the forest. The pink trail will eventually intersect with the blue trail again – veer right on the blue trail. This will take you back under the powerlines to the trailhead where you started. There are a couple of nice view spots along this route, but it’s a forest hike. This loop took just under 2 hours. There are lots of other trails to explore on this mountain.

Here’s an excellent map to have while hiking.
