OVERVIEW OF HIKE We will meet at the trailhead near the BC parks kiosk at the cross country ski area parking lot. (If you are at the eastern end of the parking lot past the washrooms, you have gone too far and will have to walk back to the other end.) Sections of the trail can be quite steep but it is all worth it! After admiring the views, we will then hike back to the parking lot. If people are interested, we can go for lunch or a hot chocolate afterwards.

NOTE: Vehicles driving up to Cypress are required to use winter tires (including M&S tires) in good condition or carry chains between October 1 – April 30.
