**I have rescheduled hike to Oct. 6th - as the weather for this Saturday (Sept. 21st) is sketchy AND we have a lack of drivers. Hopefully better weather and more drivers for the 6th! Sorry for any inconvenience.**

One of my favoruite hikes. Elfin Lakes are two small lakes located in the scenic alpine setting of Garibaldi Provincial Park near Squamish, British Columbia. Elfin Lakes trail is one the most stunning alpine hikes offering towering craggy snow-capped mountain peaks - lakes - glaciers and serenity. The trail is 22km (round trip) with an elevation gain of 600m - and is rated intermediate.

The plan is leave Vancouver around 8:30am and to meet up at Pure Bread Bakery (https://www.purebread.ca/) in Squamish for quick pit stop at 9:30am. We will head onto trailhead and aim for 10:30am start. After the hike, guys have the option of going to pub in Squamish before heading back to Vancouver.

What to bring: Solid hiking shoes, healthy snacks and lunch, plenty of water, hat/sunscreen, and wear layers as could be cool at the peak.

## TRAIL NOTICE: A free Day-Use Pass is required to hike this trail on weekends and holidays from September 3 to October 14, 2024. Reservations can be made with [BC Parks](https://reserve.bcparks.ca/dayuse/).

Directions: Elfin Lakes is located in the southern area of Garibaldi Provincial Park near the town of Squamish. From Vancouver, take Highway #1 (Trans Canada Highway) westbound towards Horseshoe Bay and follow the turnoff onto Highway #99 (Sea to Sky Highway). At the town of Squamish, watch for the turnoff to Mamquam Road or the Valley Golf Country Club. Continue along Mamquam Road as it heads uphill and becomes a gravel road. At the fork in the road, go left and continue up the dirt road to the parking lot.

Let me know if you need a lift and what area of the city you live, or able to carpool others. Remember to give gas $$ to your driver if carpooling ($20 suggested for Squamish area hikes)
