Let's enjoy this hike. If you are new to BCMC, or new to hiking, or recovering from injury, this is a group for you. Beginners very welcome. I hike not too fast, not too slow, somewhere in the middle. Alltrails expects to take 4-4.5 return, so you should expect to be moving for most of that time. If we enjoy the river and the falls, it might be a little more than that. If you are stressed for time, this might not be the hike for you.
Meeting at the End of the Line Store means you can take transit as well. Please remember - it's the first day of school for kids, which means traffic will be likely terrible before AND after the hike, so plan accordingly.
