Upcoming BP Trail Hike

Saturday October 23^rd Hike – BP Trail Part 2:

On Saturday October 23rd, we will meet at the Grouse Mountain Parking Lot at 8:30 am.  The Google Maps Link to it is here. We are starting a bit earlier so that parents who want to attend the Willingdon Men's conference at 9:30 can do so and not be late.

Scouters please note that this is not a loop - you will need someone to drop you off and pick you up. If you leave your car at Grouse Mountain, you will have a looooooong walk to get back to it!

The hike is expected to end at 3:00 pm at the Lynn Canyon parking lot. This is the parking lot where we ended the BP Trail part 1 that we did last fall, right by the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre. Here is the Google Maps Link to the Ecology centre which is where the parking lot is for the pick-up.

This hike is just over 8 kms one way, some of it fairly rugged.  It’s a beautiful hike through west coast rain forest.  Here is the link to the trail, however the map on the link ends at the Lower Lynn area, from which we will have to hike to the ecology centre.
