Golden Ears Overnighter (out and back)

Ambitious A real undertaking. Demanding on a couple of fronts, like rough surfaces plus steady climbing, or a long stretch on busier roads.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

How we describe routes →

An adventure that starts from your doorstep: ride 105 km out and back from Port Moody to Golden Ears, camp beneath the mountains, and be home for dinner the next day. Mostly flat on a mix of gravel and pavement, it is one of the easiest ways in the Lower Mainland to try a first bikepacking trip without a car shuttle.
