Description

This is really the Needle Peak Trail, but we veer right near the top and go over to Flatiron Mountain

  • Needle/Flatiron is a steep and long trail to the top of one of the Coquihalla Summit Peaks
  • meet early (7:30 am), carpool (Aberdeen Mall) and drive to the Zopkios Ridge Rest Area
  • the uphill requires core fitness to keep up (690m climb)
  • lunch at the lake on Flatiron
  • a steep downhill; poles help; tough on shaky knees and ankles
  • prepare for hot conditions (water, hat, etc.)
  • bring lots of water, bug spray, etc.   (review the Ten Essentials please)
  • Δ 2015 Peaks Series

Here is the track for Flatiron (must be logged in to see it):
