Description:

There are already two very nice trips advertised for this weekend. But with another heatwave (apparently?) approaching I thought I would offer a (relatively) easy one-day trip along the Diez Vistas trail and through the woods around Buntzen Lake:

If you like, you can end the hike with a swim in Sasamat Lake.

I suggest that we will meet at 8 am at the trailhead at Sasamat Lake (Coordinates: 49.32523069096081, -122.8846962103508).

Depending on how experienced participants are, we may slightly alter the route (e.g., add trail sections + another peak or slightly reduce the distance by starting at the Buntzen Lake parking lot instead). We can also alternatively hike up to Eagle Mountain instead (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/british-columbia/eagle-ridge-trail). We can discuss this in the pre-meeting.
