Larch Hike: Rockbound Lake & Above the Lake!

This event comes with carpooling. As great as hiking is, these events can't happen without volunteer drivers.

The waitlist is not a first come, first serve, but is based on ability and driver/passenger capacities. Anyone sending me D.Ms telling me to add them, why not added, etc. will be left on the waitlist.

Should you need to cancel, please do so within 24hrs to event.

TRAIL DESCRIPTION:

I’ve done Rockbound before, but never above the lake. Castle mountain has been on my to do list for years. Although, injuries have put a damper on my hiking season so Castle false summit will need to wait for another time. Instead the plan is to do a portion.

Time to check out what’s above the lake!

Distance: 17 km return from the Lake…plus a bunch more to have a vantage view above.
Elevation: 1,000-1200 meters

Carpooling Fee: $25 per passenger.

Pace: moderate, slower on incline.
NO SLOW POKES or BEGINNERS PLEASE.
