Stage 10 of the Sunshine Coast Trail covers 11.1 km from Golden Stanley to Troubridge, with 968 m of ascent and 49 m of descent. The highest point is 1,170 m. Allow about 5.5 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Free winterized Douglas-fir log cabin for 10 beside Jocelyn Pond below the summit of Mount Troubridge (km 158), with an outhouse, picnic tables, fire pit and a swimming dock. Snow can linger here into early summer.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap, on the trail website or in tourism listings but could not be checked on their own current page. The trail huts are free, cannot be booked and fill up first come, first served, with one night per hut, so carry a tent. No permit or fee is needed; qPAWS asks for a $5 donation per person per night.
Emergency: call 911. Signal is patchy: carry a satellite messenger. Emergency & health guide

The full stage works offline in Outest, with the route, elevation, water and village points, and a trail guide you can ask about conditions and the next place to sleep.
