Route Description for Cliff Gilker Park Loop

Hiking the Cliff Gilker Park Loop is the perfect family-friendly adventure in the Sechelt area, due to the easy nature of the terrain and the amazingly scenic rainforest setting. The trail sets out from the side of the road and cuts through the forest to the east to meet up with the main path.
