Hike the Chief - June 28th



At the end of this session, June 28th at 11AM, we will be hiking up the Chief in Squamish. This an amazing workout!

This parking area is past the Shannon Falls parking. If you reach town, you've gone too far. The rock face of the Chief itself should also be a clue. After parking, walk up the access road, and into the Provincial Park, in fact, walking through the campsite area (hike-in camping) to the trailhead.

As we climb the Chief, we can decide if we want to go to the first peak or second peak (or third). If it's a sunny summer day, we'll stop at the first peak for a snack and refreshments - at that point we can decide to continue on, relax for longer at the first peak or return down the mountain.

Bring water, runners/trail runners, and wear layers, as you will want to wear light clothes going up but will need something warm at the top, as it can get quite 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.
