Description:
One last overnight trip before the rain and my first load of mid-term marking comes in!
The plan:
Pre Trip, 6th October, 7.45pm, outside the clubroom. Apologies for being so late in the evening, I have graduate seminars until 7.30pm. We will make sure you have all the required equipment and are organized in a carpool/tent/cooking group.
Day One, Saturday 9th October, 12pm. Again, apologies for the late start, I teach until 11am and can't afford to miss another weekend of work for hiking. We will aim to have everyone picked up and on the road by 12pm. The drive is roughly 1 and a half hours, and we will aim to be on the trail by 2pm. It is a 9km hike (around 3 hours) from the carpark/trail head to the Garibaldi campground, where we will stay for the night. There will be an opportunity to do some exploring/extra hiking once we are all set up at the campsite. Camground reservations need to made HERE once tent groups are set, and cost $6 a person (up to $18 per tent).
Day Two, Sunday 10th October. After breakfast we will hike up to Panorama Ridge and then back down to Taylor Meadows campsite, where we will stay for the night - approx 12km round trip, 4-5 hours hiking. Campground reservations also need to be booked via the same link above ($6 pp).
Day Three, Monday 11th October. We will try and get an early start and hike up to Black Tusk. This will be a long day hiking (around 17km from campsite-black tusk-trailhead/carpark). Expect to be back in Vancouver late afternoon/early evening.
Other Stuff:
More information on the route/campsites can be found HERE and HERE.
This trip is beginner friendly, but does involve two nights camping - so at least some previous overnight camping experience preferable. Email me if you have any worries!
Reservations need to be made for both campsites as we are still just within peak-season, this is better to do as far ahead of time as possible - so once your tent groups/carpools are set reserve your spots.
The VOC has boots and backpacks for rent but not sleeping-bags or tents, MEC offers rentals HERE.
Information on the weather can be found HERE. Please pack and dress appropriately.
