2011 Trail Running - Stewart Mountain

Back at Thetis Lake for a run out to Stewart Mountain. The first part of this run is along the south side of the lake, then up to the Gunner Shaw swamp. We join the Stewart Mountain race course and follow that for the remainder of the run. Except on race day this route is not well marked, especially around the second swamp location and on the top of Stewart Mountain. The route is mainly on wide easy to run trails. The climb up Stewart Mountain is very steep with lots of loose rocks on the trail. The way down is just as steep but less rocky. The run starts at the main parking lot at Thetis Lake and takes about 2 hours plus stops.
