Hiking Trail
A popular 4 km (one-way) hiking trail called the Elk-Thurston trail allows access to the summit. This trail gains 640 m of elevation from the trailhead to the summit. The trail continues on to Mount Thurston, 3.5 km further along the trail and another 198 m higher.[2] The trail continues to Mt Mercer, and it is possible to trek all the way to Mt Cheam.
