A short drive up the Sea to Sky Highway is a lake in Murrin Provincial Park that sits right alongside the highway. Avoid the busy lake and get away from the cars by following the path around the lake to a short, challenging and fun hike up the Murrin Loop Trail that climbs quickly to the Quercus Viewpoint offering incredible views over Howe Sound. Take the detour to Jurassic Ridge for the best views on the trail.
