Hike to the iconic Comox glacier, one of my favourite trails on the island. Once you go up the steep trail to the ridge you will be surrounded by epic mountains all the way to the top.
Access Info
see Mosaic's website regarding gate status for Comox Main, final 2ish km on the road is also guarded by some 13+ cross ditches lots of clearance and 4x4 is preferable, there is also a pull out prior to this section where less capable vehicles can park
Disclaimer
strenuous with some scrambling and exposure

Ground wasps between 3-4 km from trail head. Carin to mark the area on the left side of trail going up, just before location. Nest in among the tree roots on the right side. We detoured thru the bush on the left side of the trail.
