Whyte Lake to Cypress Provincial Park Boundary Sign on Baden Powell Trail
Leaders: Jane Srivastava & Lyn Grants
Meet at Whyte Lake Parking Lot 9:30 am. Parking Lot can be crowded so carpool if possible.
Approx. 8 km, 350 m elevation gain.
Nature Vancouver rating B Strenuous.
We take the hike up the standard trail to and around the Lake and then head north on a forested trail to join the Baden Powell trail that starts above Horseshoe Bay. We stay on the Baden Powell, steep and rocky at times, until we come to a provincial park sign indicating Cypress Provincial Park boundary. We will make frequent stops to look at ferns, trees, mossy rock walls an other interesting things that might catch our eyes. The area is in great contrast to the more open and differently vegetated area of the hike offered March 23.
