About

The Lizard trail starts with a series of switchbacks climbing the hillside east of the parking lot. At the first junction, turn left at the signs and ride until you meet the old forestry road. Turn right onto the road and continue climbing. You will pass a hiking trail on your right, then come to a bench with views down into the steep canyon and impressive rocky walls over Sicamous Creek. The Lizard continues along this road, connecting back to Sicamous at MacLean-McPherson Rd. Loop back through Sicamous to the trailhead, or tailor an out-and-back, returning the way you came.


Access

3.6km south of Sicamous on Hwy 97A, and along the east side of Mara Lake, turn left onto Two Mile Rd. After 400m, there is a parking lot on the right. A sign with a map is posted at the parking area. The trailhead is the first on the left as you enter the parking area.
