Beginning from Cypress Mountain ski resort we will hike the trail to Porteau Cove with one night camping at one of the lakes.
The trail is roughly 26km long with 2500m elevation gain. There will be scrambling and a lot of steep terrain to navigate.
I suggest you watch this video to get a feel for the trip and see if you are up for it: https://youtu.be/cG8lD9_kkdE?si=qiiBhnhy3bmFXHy0
Participants will be expected to be self-sufficient and know what gear to bring.
Details can be discussed in the planning forum.
