This is probably the easiest summit I’ve attained on my list so far. I did it early on Saturday morning with my son and didn’t even bother taking photos - besides a few summit shots on my iPhone which I won’t bother posting here.
Stoney Summit Route Map
Park near the entrance to the Mount Norquay parking lot and find the signed trailhead. It’s only 2.2 km and maybe 200 meters height gain to the summit. You won’t even be sure you’re at the summit - that’s how easy this one is! Views are minimal. This is strictly to bag an easy peak or go for a nice walk. Tunnel Mountain is much lower but has better views.
