Hiking Club

For all of our hikes, participants are reminded to be self-sufficient and to bring water, food, appropriate clothing, and sturdy footwear. Hikers must be physically fit and will be required to sign a waiver before participating. Also, as we like to carpool, remember that drivers need to be reimbursed.

Non-members are welcome to participate in these trips as a way to preview the activities of our club, but are asked to limit their participation to no more than three events before becoming a member. This is a requirement under our liability insurance coverage.

Upcoming Hikes

Sunday, October 16 East Canyon Trail (Golden Ears Park)
This moderate hike will take us into the less traveled and more northern part of Golden Ears Park. We will start hiking from the Lower Falls parking lot and follow Gold Creek on the east side. This wonderful forest and beautiful creek is one not to miss. The elevation gain is approximately 280 m (900 ft) and an 18 km (11.2 mi) return distance. We will meet at 8:00 am. Return 6:00 pm. Please contact Ian (604-939-4039) for meeting place or for more info.

Saturday, November 19 Indian Arm Parks
On this our last hike of the year, we will visit no less than six parks along the west side of Indian Arm. Beginning at Panorama Park in Deep Cove, we will walk south along (or near) the waterfront to Cates Park. On our return we will stick to higher ground and enjoy vistas of mountain and sea. Over the course of the day, we should have ample opportunity to observe overwintering birds. Roundtrip distance is 9 km (5.6 mi) with very little change in elevation. If there is time and interest, we may visit Maplewood Flats Wildlife Sanctuary as well. We will meet at 9:00 am. Return 3:30 pm. As November 19 is Election Day, be sure to vote either before or after the hike! Please contact Ian (604-939-4039) for meeting place or for more info.
