Mt. Gardner is Bowen Island’s highest peak and a popular hike. On a clear day the views from the North Summit are stunning. From one helicopter platform you can look south towards Vancouver and, if the atmosphere is clear, you can see Mt. Baker in Washington state. The other helicopter platform offers views towards the north and the Sunshine Coast.
There are three trailheads and many trail options. Our map provides the main trails. But we recommend going to Bowen Island Trail Society and downloading their PDF map. The good folks at the Bowen Island Trail Society maintain the hiking trails and their map is the most current guide.
