Location

In the Siskin Lake/Robin Lake area, east of Buntzen Lake on top of a mountain. There are established hiking trails there. See hiking trails map in photos section.

Participants

Plans

Meet after work and drive to Buntzen Lake picnic area. Hike ~4km on a trail (note: switchbacks - may be longer, will be steep), find hash point, hike down.

Sunset is at 9:13PM. We're bringing headlamps and jackets (and emergency gear) in case we're returning in the dark. Weather forecast calls for clearing skies through the day.

Expedition

Park gates closed at 9PM and we didn't want to have the car locked in the park overnight. We reached our designated turnaround time before we reached the hashpoint.

Full report tomorrow.
