Place: Buntzen Lake Trail name: Diez Vistaz (in English it means 10 view points) Location: Turn north off Highway 7A (Barnet Highway) onto Ioco Road, at the traffic lights just east of Port Moody. Then follow the signs for Buntzen Lake. At the gated Powerhouse Road, turn left into the parking lots. There are many different trails. This one is at the southwest end of the parking lot. Round Trip: 13 km (about 5 to 6 hours walk) Elevation gain: 455 m (1490 ft) - Easy trail |

We walk across the floating bridge to reach the trail head at the other
side of the lake. A mist hangs over the lake. |

|
| "Vista" means view point. There are altogether 10 view points on the trail. |
|
| The view points give you a look of Indian Arm at different angle. |
|
|
So far this is the most fantastic view of Indian Arm. I believe this
is the number 5 view point. I leave it to you to explore the rest of it. |
|
| On the way back we cross a suspension bridge. |
 |
| Picnic facilities are available at both ends of the lake. |
