Très belle ballade

If you are a seasoned hiker, it's super easy and can be done in about an hour and a half round trip. Up the road, or the Grinder. It's steep, but the path is wide and for the most part it's a paved road and is about 5km round-trip. Great elevation (about 300 meters) , great workout, and the scenery is spectacular. This is one of my favorite local walks. Easy, with a great reward of beautiful views at the top. Picnic tables at the top and washrooms at the bottom.

Beautiful hike. Takes about 2 hours round trip pending what trial you take. Absolutely be sure to go all the way to the second peak. We took the Friendly Giant blue trail, was an easy moderate. The Grind red looks like a straight up hill hole, would be fun trail too. Easy parking. We’ll marked trails.

This is an amazing hike!! We parked at the park gate and hiked up the "Giant's Head Grind" which is an advanced hike with very steep sections. It's easy to follow the marked trail denoted by the white pegs with Green/Grey/Blue stripes. This hike takes a good two hours to complete. There are also more moderate trails that take you to the summit as well. If you are in shape, I definitely recommend the "Grind". It's worth it!!

The view at the top is well worth the hike up.

The best way down from the top is to follow the winding paved road.

Great hike with off-road options of various difficulties. We went at the start of December and the narrow single lane road to the top was closed. Road was a bit frosty with a few icy patches, but considering the time of year that was expected. It's a popular hike, we passed about twenty people or so, half of them with dogs. Amazing views at the top.

What a gorgeous surprise. I am just visiting the area and looked up a hike for my dog and I. There is everything here. We went up the steep red called the grind (took 40 mins but I stopped for photos and scenery) and then descended down a combo of the yellow and blue trials, as well as the road. I’m glad to have had the trails to myself early morning. It was getting busy after 11am. And by busy I mean I saw maybe 6 people. And there were 5 vehicles in the parking lot.

Please search for ''Giants Head Hike Parking' if you are searching a point on Google Maps to visit Giants Head Park in a vehicle (car). At the entrance of the park, you will be confused if you should drive in as the road is very narrow.

This is the most beautiful place to visit in the whole of Summerland. We have been there to witness sunset. And it was majestic. The hike to the top from Parking is about 15 mins. If you are fit, you can complete the hike in 7 mins through shortcuts.

There is a time capsule which will be opened on 01st July 2067. It has been buried on 01st July 1967.

Awesome little gem, awesome trails, almost single lane up if driving, go slow up but even slower down if you like your brakes 🙂 and also because people walk on the road so for caution.
