About

Not really a trail, but an old hang-gliding ramp high above steep cliffs with outstanding views of the Sicamous Channel, Shuswap Lake, and Mara Lake – a photographer’s paradise. Walk or bike to the lookout 1 km from the FSR spur road or 8 km from Solsqua-Sicamous Rd.


Access

In Sicamous on Hwy 1, just east of the Hwy 97A junction, turn north onto Sicamous-Solsqua Rd. Cross the bridge and the railroad tracks and stay right at the Old Town Rd intersection to continue on Sicamous-Solsqua Rd. Take the next left turn up the #1800 Queest Mountain FSR, continue for 6.2 km, then turn left onto #1800-300 Rd for another 1.6 km to the lookout. Hike or bike from the bottom, the spur road, or drive all the way.
