THE HIKE/WALK:

Time: approx 3+ hours depending on pace or it can be extended an extra hour or so.

Distance: approx 13.8 kms return

Elevation Gain: very little but there are a couple of long grades especially on the return so you need to be fit.

Bring: snack/lunch, water, poles are useful especially on hills...there a couple of long grades but not steep.

clothes/socks/shoes in car just in case it rains.

INFO:

Very nice walk through a forested area. Good trail. Nice views as we travel the trail alongside the Fraser River to our destination which is the park by the Mission Bridge. There are some short grades but a longer one on the return to the parking lot.
