Dog Mtn “The Hemlock Abyss”

 

The Dog Mountain Trail is accessed through Seymour Provincial Park in North Vancouver. The trail is very popular year round, relatively easy  hike or snow shoe that delivers you to some great views of the Seymour Valley, the North Shore, Vancouver and beyond.

For the ease of describing work areas this particular section became known as the “Abyss”or the “Hemlock Abyss” in reference to the large hemlock tree on the inside of the trail.

The objective of this project was to restore this section of trail as it had slowly slipped away over the years leaving trail users exposed to a potential “slip fall ” incident.
