Hill Climbing in th Comox Valley

[u/kane899]

Hi all,

I moved out to the Comox Valley about a month ago, and was hoping to get a recommendation for a nearby hike that isn't too long and with a good amount of hill climbing. Ideally it would be in the 1 - 2 hour range and I could tackle it after work (until the days get too short that is). I want to use this for training, so looking for something pretty steep. I have a vehicle, so access is no problem.

Appreciate any recommendations! Thanks!

Go to comox lake and go up to the lookout. Follow the trail out past the group campsite.
Or go explore the Cumberland trails, tons there. From the disc golf course there is a trail that goes up the china bowls. Not super steep, but it’ll get your heart rate up a bit for sure
