Eagle Bluff Viewpoint

This post is for Eagle Bluff viewpoint hike near Buntzen Lake.
For the Eagle Bluffs hike at Cypress Provincial Park, please go HERE.

Today was a weird day. I had no intention of hiking in the morning and by the early afternoon I was getting the itch. I then figured I would do the Lakeview Trail. After I had a venti iced mocha, I decided to hike to Polytrichum Lookout. But on the way up I saw a small sign for a turnoff to ‘Eagle Bluff’, which I have never been. So I detoured off the main Halvor Lunden trail on my way to Eagle Bluff.

The route…

Below are two views from the Eagle Bluff…

Today’s stats were:

Return distance: 5 km
Elevation gain: 250 m

So, as you can see it isn’t a strenuous hike by any means, but the views are decent.

Here is a view of the bluff taken from the east end of the Buntzen Lake Floating Bridge…

Before heading out on your hike, make sure you are well prepared. This means, having the TEN ESSENTIALS. It is also important to leave a trip plan (route details and estimated return time) with someone you trust.

Bring your smartphone, fully charged and put it in airplane mode while hiking. I always bring back-up battery packs for extra piece of mind. It is highly recommended that you bring a GPS device; I use my smartphone with a GPS app (Backcountry Navigator). The GPS will work in airplane mode. Learn how to use it before your hike.

For anyone new to hiking, there is a rule to which hikers follow; it is called “Leave No Trace” or LNT. The concept is generally to pack out what you pack in and respect nature, so all future visitors can enjoy what you have enjoyed.
To learn more about LNT, please check out this BLOG by a certified LNT Trainer.

    and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to
    ask!

  15. Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
    My site discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we
    could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

  16. I think everything posted was actually very logical. But, consider this, what if you added a little information? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog,
    but suppose you added something to maybe grab folk’s attention? I mean Eagle
    Bluff Viewpoint | Buntzen Lake is kinda plain.
    You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post headlines to grab people interested.

    You might add a related video or a related pic or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
    Just my opinion, it could bring your website a little bit more
    interesting.

  17. Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.

  20. I’m so happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that’s at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.

  21. I think everything composed was very reasonable. However,
    consider this, suppose you were to create a awesome title? I mean, I don’t wish
    to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added something that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean Eagle Bluff
    Viewpoint | Buntzen Lake is a little boring.
    You might look at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they write article headlines to get people to open the links.
    You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it might bring your blog a little bit more interesting.

  22. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of unique
    content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping
    it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off?
    I’d genuinely appreciate it.
