Itinerary description
Great day-hike version of the mount Bishop summit.
Start with a mountain-bike ride up Spur 4 trail or a road-bike ride up Seymour-Valley Trailway onto Seymour Fals dam road. The lock up your bike and get cracking up this beautiful 1250m ascent to the mount bishop summit via the Vicars Lakes.
GPS is a bit jittery at the start and includes a detour to explore the lakes.
Overall trip time (including cycling to the trail exit in North Vancouver): 9 hours total return
Just hiking portion up and down (in literally perfect conditions): 7 hours
Hiking component should usually take ~8 hours leaving plenty of time to explore the lakes and enjoy a decent photo-op at the summit.

Thanks @Chuckle.
Did you do this in November?!?
I'm not sure it would be a great snowshoe. I do quite a lot of snowshoeing around the north shore, but this has some steep sections that would be pretty gruelling. I'm not saying it's impossible, but much more enjoyable as a summer season hike in my opinion.
Awesome trails on your profile! You've done some epic trips!
