Cleveland Dam to First Lake: Difficulty - Intermediate

About the Hike:
This hiking trail travels along the Baden Powell trail but then returns to the park at Cleveland Dam. For those who weren't able to come on our Hard Baden Powell hike going from Horseshoe Bay to Grouse Mountain, you may want to join us on this hike as this is part of the intermediate section of that prior event.

*The difficulty of this hike is intermediate, but some people will find it to be hard. Please consider your level of fitness before coming on this hike. You can always join us on easy hikes if intermediate hikes are too much for you.

Intermediate, 15km trail (back and forth), 862meters of elevation gain

Meeting At:
Cleveland Dam, North Vancouver.
