Description:
Anyone else who didn't make the cut-off on the other backpacking trips this weekend? Let's go hiking!
I've been to a few hikes around Vancouver and Mount Gardner has by far the best view. In clear weather, you will be able to see Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast, and Squamish. The best part? It's transit accessible. This is the perfect hike if you are new to Vancouver or just want to spend Sunday outside.
From the ferry terminal, the trail is approximately 16km long with 800m of elevation round trip.
We will leave UBC at around 8 pm and link up downtown to get the 257 Express Bus to Horseshoe Bay. Then, we can take the 10:50 am ferry over to Bowen Island and start the hike. I am not a very fast hiker so we'll take this chill.
Since it will be cold, I'll bring my stove and some hot chocolate. Please bring your own mug.
There are many pubs and restaurants on Bowen Island if we finish the hike early.
What to bring?
- Rain gear
- Good shoes
- Water
- Lunch/ snacks
- A mug or some container for the hot chocolate
There will be no pretrip, I will reach out to you via email. Please feel free to email me any questions.
