Description:
Hey Friends,
I would love to do the Howe Sound in a day before September is over, so (car spaces permitting) I plan on having a car at both ends of the trail, and starting from the Cypress bowl.
Here is a link for more information regarding the trail:

The trail is roughly 30km, and much like my GPA, has its peaks and valleys, so be prepared for a long day!
It is not a trail run, or a leisurely paced hike, if that sounds good to you then come on out! I want to be starting on the trail at 7am, so we will go over appropriate pick up times at the pre trip.
Attendance of the pre trip meeting is mandatory. If you do not attend, you wont be organized into a vehicle. If you really cannot make it, I can arrange to meet up individually at another time before the weekend!
DISCLAIMER
I cannot stress enough how difficult this day will be. This will potentially be hiking with huge elevation practically non stop from dawn till dusk. Doing this is something that you can look back at with pride, but it comes with accepting a very very very long grind.
