Description
Beginners & Backpackers Hikes are designed for new hikers (or those just getting back into it and/or want a slower pace) and backpackers who want to start “practicing” with partially loaded packs. These hikes will be at a slower pace, with lots of breaks and generally easy terrain, building up to harder hikes as the season progresses. If you’re a new hiker, bring your 10 essentials. If you’re a backpacker, bring a partially loaded pack 15 to 20 lbs. (or more) to start. Please comment if you are a beginner or a backpacker
This trail has more elevation gain than the other Beginner & Backpacker trails, but we will be going at an easy pace.
We will start at the beginning of Paul Lake on Harper Mountain Road, hiking up to the lookout at Gibraltar Rock above Paul Lake, returning the same way. Approx 8 or 9 km total. The trail starts off flat, before switchbacking up with a steeper section near the top.
Bring water, a snack, a headlamp or flashlight and dress for the weather.
Meet at 5:30 pm at the Mount Paul meetup, just past the Husky Station on Paul Lake Road. Leaving by 5:45 and should be on the trail by 6 pm.
4 dogs max, please comment if you are bringing your dog.
