**\*\*Note: this is an exploratory hike, meaning I have never done this hike or this particular transit route, so I am not 100% sure of the route or trail conditions. Please be patient in case we take a wrong turn or take a little longer trying to figure things out.\*\***

Whyte Lake trail is supposedly an easy and fairly short trail (no more than a couple of hours round trip).

**Info:** https://www.vancouvertrails.com/trails/whyte-lake-horseshoe-bay/

**Meeting spot:** We will meet at Gleneagles Elementary School and walk to the trail head.

**Transit:** #250 or #257 (Note the times below; the buses do not run that frequently, so be sure to catch the correct bus.)

**Option 1:** Take the **#250** Horseshoe Bay bus that arrives at
**NB Marine Dr @ 6300 Block** at **11:12am**. Walk across the street to the school.

**Option 2:** Take the **#257** Horseshoe Bay bus that arrives at **Horseshoe Bay** at **11:13am** and walk about 10 to 15 minutes to the school.

From the school, it should not be too long a walk to the trail head. Per directions: we walk to the roundabout and walk across the overpass. Go right and carefully walk along side the road for about 150-metres to where there is a small gravel parking lot and the beginning of the Baden Powell Trail. Walk along the BP trail to the Whyte Lake trail head.

**Parking:** As I do not drive and have never been in this area, I don't know the parking situation. But there should be parking at Horseshoe Bay.

**Note:** there may be a possible transit strike (West Van Blue Buses) which will affect the #250 bus, but it should not affect the #257 bus (Coast Mountain Bus Company).

Bring a snack and plenty of water! As well as your patience and understanding as I try and figure out the route!
