**PAST EVENT** (BC) Stawamus Chief Trail: Advanced Day Hike – June 29 2024

Event Details

We acknowledge that this event is taking place on the territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) 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/Squamish classic and must see! The hike is hostedwith support from our community investor  Adidas Terrex, and is a good challenge, mostly covered in trees, and incredible views at the top.

If you’re an experienced hiker and are hoping to challenge yourself alongside a supportive community, this is the event for you. We will be meeting at the Stawamus Chief Provincial Park and our goal will be to hike to the first peak, which is a 3.7km out-and-back trail (going up and down the same way). Please note that this is a challenging hike with slightly more technical terrain and this event would be suited for members of the community that are more experienced hikers or are comfortable with the challenge. 

Participants will need to bring:

• Comfortable hiking shoes
• Water (we also highly recommend to have electrolytes)
• Lunch and snacks

We will be sharing 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.
