The trailhead is about 5km from the ferry terminal and unfortunately is all on roads and up a big hill. If you’re looking for a trail you can do right from the ferry terminal, Langdale Falls is a better better and my guide for that trail includes directions for walking off the ferry right to the trail: https://dawnoutdoors.com/langdale-falls/

Hi Taryn,
Do you know if there are any trails to get to this hike from the ferry for foot passengers? Might be a nice little day trip from Horseshoe Bay.
Thank you!

In reply to JAra.

If your mom can do the Wreck beach stairs, she can definitely do Soames Hill. It’s comparable. The only difference is that there aren’t as many places to rest on the Soames Hill stairs – people may have to squeeze past you if you take breaks.

Very informative. I find the details, tips, and images so helpful. Thank you!

Q: If someone were to take the direct route to summit, is it comparable to the stairs in Lynn Valley and/or Wrech beach? I’m wondering if this can be possible for my mom-in-law who is senior and experiences knee pain at difficult times but with break in between and not scrambling up the stairs, can it be doable?

Thanks.
