I have not done that hike or any of the hikes in that area, but the reviews are good and this time of year at sunshine coast is always great 🍁🍂🍄. The weather forecast for Saturday seems to be favorable.🤞🌞

The maximum group size is 4 members excluding the organizer (unless we get a second driver). This is going to be a compact, fast-paced group.

Distance: approx 22km
Elevation Gain: approx 800m
Estimated Time: (round trip) 6 hours
Event Rating: Difficult

***This is NOT a beginner’s hike***
Please be confident in your ability to keep up with the fast pacing group.
Preference will be given to hikers with whom I hiked before.

RSVP DETAILS
Each attendee must have a clear close-up facial photo on their profile.

We'll meet on 6:30am at the parking lot next to St. Davids United Church and go to the ferry. The sailing is at 7:30am, so this should be enough. We'll split the cost of sailing (\~$120+tax) between all members of the group. The trailhead is around 1 hour drive from the ferry terminal. I am booking a return sail for 8:15pm, so that we should have enough time plus some to complete the trail and get back to the terminal.

I am driving and can take up to 3 people with me (first come, first serve). If you plan to drive you are advised to make a ferry reservation as Saturday morning might be busy.
