Dragons Back trailhead - Hope, British Columbia

Kanako Sakurada

This trail is well maintained and easy to follow but with some steep slippery sections. Mostly in shades and not too busy.
Multiple view points with nice benches along the way so you can pace yourself. The best view was from summit view point.
5.5k a loop, 2hrs including breaks

Large parking area at the trail head but no washroom. Better to go slow after the turn off as it is uphill and rocky. You can park along silver skagit road if not comfortable driving up. It’s only a couple hundred meters to the trail head.

Loved this hike! We stumbled upon this hike on our way back from Kelowna. Beautifully maintained trail with lots of signage and viewpoints at every stage of the hike to keep you motivated. Quite a few switchbacks at the start, but very picturesque. I'd recommend parking on the main road instead of the lot (quite a few large rocks in the lot). I'd also cross the road after the hike and visit the running stream of water for a nice little break. Enjoy!

This is a moderate in and out trail with a loop at the top. Great for families and around 5km. in distance makes it a great, quick workout!
I would suggest this trail, great views and very well maintained.

Gorgeous hike. My 4yo and I made it to the first viewpoint but that was enough for little legs. The sign says this first portion is ok for "novice" hikers but you definitely need a decent level of fitness for the big stairs etc.

The road to the parking lot is not signed. There is a "1km" sign and then a series of residences. The road to the parking is just past the houses on the right and made of light coloured stone. Just past that on the left is a pull out for smaller cars that can't take the gravel to park. The trail from there to the parking is obvious when walking, but again, not signed. Once you're at the parking lot the signs for the trail are clear and obvious.

Love this trail and it’s almost never busy. No bathroom in the area so make sure you stop somewhere before parking. Drive up to the trail head from the main road can be a bit bumpy so take your time and don’t gun it.

Awesome trail! Medium difficulty. My kids 8 and 9 year old were able to do it. My dog was able to make it up and down with no issues. On rainy days it can be quite slippery though. Be careful ?

Short but intense hike with decent viewpoints. Made it up the ramp with 2wd seden but was a bit slippery due to the recent rain.

Good trail moderate hike. Nice views easy to find trail head lots of parking. Not a stroll in the park so in the summer leave the sandals home and use descent hiking shoes or boots.
