Metro Vancouver's trail map marks Forever After as a Very Difficult Trail with a black diamond. The District of North Vancouver's layer starts it at the Powerlines and runs it southwest to meet High School League and the Bridle Path near the reserve's southern edge. The District's layer gives it no grade of its own.
Rocky Mountain Bicycles funds Forever After through the Trail Adoption Program of the North Shore Mountain Bike Association (NSMBA), and Metro Vancouver's 2026 permit lets the NSMBA maintain it on approved trail days. Under that permit the NSMBA works only on approved trail days led by its pre-approved maintainers, after reserve staff sign off on the plan.
Worth knowing
- Metro Vancouver opens the reserve at 6 am all year and closes it at 5 pm from November to February, and every vehicle has to be out through the lower gate at the bottom of Lillooet Road by the posted closing time.
- Only Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes may ride in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, and Metro Vancouver asks their riders to stay under 30 km/h and yield to everyone else.
- Metro Vancouver tells its own trail crews to expect no phone signal in most of the reserve's trail areas, so leave a trip plan with a friend and carry North Shore Rescue's 10 essentials.
