Hike Lynn Loop Aug 9th at 11am
Hiking the Lynn Loop
Sunday we'll be heading to Lynn Canyon for a moderate 2 hour hike. Remember to pack a few snacks, water and a camera to document your success!
Don't stress - there is a few rest areas along the way!
We will meet at the cafe near the parking lot at 11am.
DIRECTIONS TO LYNN CANYON:
To get to Lynn Headwaters, take the Second Narrows bridge or Lion's Gate bridge, and get onto the Trans Canada Highway (Upper levels) heading West if approaching from Second Narrows, East from Lions Gate.
Take the Lynn Valley Road exit off the Upper Levels Highway and follow Lynn Valley Road north, past the turnoff to Lynn Canyon Park, to the end.
Cross the bridge over Lynn Creek staying right (instead of left on the gravel road), and proceed on foot to the yellow metal gate marking the boundary between Lynn Headwaters and the Seymour Demonstration Forest.
Go left to the Lynn Loop trail, as it climbs fairly steeply initially.
Once it levels off, you are hiking along the side of Lynn Canyon, and, this continues for another kilometer or so until you see a sign indicating your descent via a number of switchbacks. This is the shorter loop.
Call my cell if you need directions! 604-240-9891
WHAT TO BRING: water, runners/trail runners or hiking boots if you need the extra ankle support, and wear layers, as you will want to wear light clothes going up but will need something warm and waterproof in case it gets wet and windy. If you have a cell, we can exchange numbers at the trailhead, and this will help if you decide to turn back, or if you are going to take longer than anticipated.
