The drive

Mount Seymour Road climbs from just above Mount Seymour Parkway to the ski area, 6.9 miles through tight hairpins in forest within Mount Seymour Provincial Park. It gains about 2,800 feet in 20 minutes, with lookouts toward Indian Arm, Deep Cove and Vancouver on the way up.

It is a dead end, so you come back down the same way.
