4 days on the Sunshine Coast Trail from Fiddlehead Landing to Lang Bay. The objective is to hike the most prominent peak, Tin Hat Mountain, with sweeping 360-degree views on day 1.

This is a multi-day hike at a moderate pace and no rush. This trip does NOT involve bouldering, scrambling or rock climbing. The longest day is 17km hike on day 2. The trail is marked.

Beautiful views are guaranteed. Please google Tin Hat Mountain or Sunshine Coast Trail for photos.

Previous multi-day hiking experience is required. The hike will take place only in fair weather. If the forecast calls for a lot of rain, the trip will be cancelled. I expect an enjoyable hike.
