Mount Laughington

This day hike is #75 in the 103 hikes book and should give a nice view of the Cheam ridge.

Unfortunately, there is a locked gate at the bottom of Airplane Creek Road (preventing me from doing the full hike). A sign says to contact Tamihi logging at 604-792-8777 about access. The Airplane Creek Road has a few small water bars that probably cannot be crossed with a car.

The roads are not as shown in the 103 hikes book. What appeard to be the start of the trail (an old, grown over road heading north) was found past the 3 km marker, where a truck was parked (probably had a gate key). The main gravel road continues steeply up the mountain from here to the top of a new clear cut.

Hiking to the start of the trail, from the gate, should take about an hour.
