**PAST EVENT** (BC) Community Evening Hike – July 26, 2024

Event Details

We acknowledge that this event is taking place on the territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam First Nation. We are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on this land.

Due to limited spots, we ask our allies to please let BIPOC folks register for this event first. Thank you!

This hike is a Vancouver classic and a must see! The hike is great for beginners or folks looking for a low impact evening outside. You’ll get to experience beautiful forest trails and the iconic cliffside view during sunset. The hike itself is about 4km out and back (meaning going up and down the same way) with about 100 metres of elevation gain. This means that there’s a few steeper sections and some stairs we’ll have to tackle so hikers should come prepared for a low to moderate intensity workout. 

Participants will need to bring:

• Comfortable hiking shoes
• Water (we also highly recommend to have electrolytes)
• Snacks
• Headlamp

Evening Hike Safety:

Please be aware that there are some inherent risks with hiking at dusk. Sunset will be around 9pm which means we may be hiking in lower visibility. Please remember to bring a headlamp or flashlight, some extra clothing layers, and reflective clothing and gear if you have it, to reduce some of these risks.

Event Transportation

Please note that participants are responsible for getting to our events independently. Deep Cove, where the Quarry Rock trail is located, is very transit accessible, but folks are also welcome to carpool. Among other benefits, we know that parking lots get very busy and it is hard to find a spot. So less cars means more chances for meeting on time. We will be sharing a carpool sign up list prior to the event. You can also organize carpooling through our Colour the Trails British Columbia | Facebook group.  If you are carpooling with someone, please make sure to chip in for gas/parking/ferry cost.

Please add [email protected] to your safe sender list. We will be contacting you with further information about the event and if the email ends up in your spam folder you may miss important information. If a waitlist spot opens up there will be a deadline to accept that you won’t want to miss. Thank you!

Regular One Day Events Cancellation Policy

This policy applies to smaller one-day events. We would like to emphasize that even when the participation fee is low ($10-100) it is important to show up as last moment cancellations make us look bad as a group in front of partners that help us to create affordable events.

1. Cancellation At Least 7 Days In Advance: For cancellations made at least 7 days in advance of the scheduled event, no penalties will be incurred. Participants can request a full refund. In some cases when we pre-pay for spots with our hosts, we might need to fill in the spot in order to issue a refund.
2. Cancellation Within 7 Days: In the unfortunate event that a cancellation is requested less than 7 days before the scheduled event, or no shows the following policy will apply:

• Refund: Cancellations made less than 7 days of the event will not be eligible for a refund.
• Penalty: A three months ineligibility to attend future events. We leave a right to cancel any registration of the person under penalty in this time frame. After the three-month ineligibility period has elapsed, participants can once again sign up for future events without any restrictions.
