Description
This strenuous hike is mostly in the Rocklyn Creek Management Area, through its pristine snow-laden forests, atop its rocky crags and alongside its spring-fed creek. Our actual pace will be about 3.0 km/h which requires an effort that matches what would be required on a summer hike of a brisk pace of 4-5 km/h. After meeting, we will shuttle to Blantyre and hike back to our vehicles. Be prepared for a good workout as we traverse steep climps and slippery slopes with both exposed and hidden rocks. Registrants will receive an email the day before the hike with an update of trail conditions and what to bring and which footwear to choose. In this area, spring arrives a bit later which means snow on the trail is a strong possibility.
