INTERMEDIATE HIKE (BUT WITH DIFFICULT ROCK SCRAMBLING)
Join us on this stunning hike with beautiful views of a waterfall and the Squamish Valley and Tantalus Range. This hike will have rock scrambling with the use of ropes and is not for those who are afraid of heights. We'll meet at Squamish Adventure Centre at 9am before heading to the trailhead, which can be difficult to find. Should be a great day!
Length: 12 km round trip
Elevation Gain – 650km
Hiking time – 5 hours

Directions
Take Highway 99 to the Squamish Adventure Centre. After meeting there, we will leave together and continue on the highway northbound past Squamish. Just beyond Brackendale, watch for the turnoff on your left to the Squamish Valley Road.
Follow the Squamish Valley Road until, just after a bridge, you reach a junction. Zero the odometer on your vehicle and go left to continue driving along the Squamish Valley Road. Continue along this road until 22.5 km later you pass a pumphouse. Approximately 1km later, at 23.5km, you arrive at a bridge that crosses High Falls Creek. Don't cross the bridge but instead park in the space at the side of the gravel road. The trail begins a short distance over the bridge up the road on the right side.
